Chemo Journal Day 12

September 23-Day 12

So today, I feel like the weather.

Blah.

I’m tired.  I’m tired of being tired.  Even when my day is going great, I hit a wall at some point of just exhaustion. I trudge on, but I’m just TIRED.

Blah.

PM Update: Okay, so I feel better.  A headache, but overall better.  Still tired, but more like a “it’s been a long, busy week and I’m crashing on Friday” kind of tired.  I do plan on going to bed soon.  (It’s 6:55 PM, McCanless is at a movie with friends and MC is watching Fresh Beat Band and playing air guitar like it’s nobody’s business.  I know she’ll crash soon, too.)

Maybe it was the gross weather that got me down.  Rain and Tired.  Double Whammy.

I’m also realizing that my hair is shedding a little more than it normally would.  Nothing bad at this point.  It’s odd to be waiting, watching for your hair to “let go.”  I’m almost positive my hair has slowed growth, or completely stopped growing all together.  I’ve not shaved my legs in several days because I’ve not needed to.  Kinda nice.  I guess.

Overall Day 12: Not so bad.

I just wanted to stop by and say hi, and let you know that I will be Praying for you. I hope that you feel better and any hair loss is to a minimum. I’m sure you have heard this, but just in case I wanted you to read this article.
There are some pretty cute, wigs out there now, if you feel the need for one for just a little bit, no one can even tell.
Jaclyn Smith has the most beautiful hair and she had breast cancer along with Olivia Newton John, they both look wonderful today and you will too.
