I'm losing it! - wk 2

The following is a recap of my second week after chemo.  Overall, a good week!

June 14, Fri
I had to do some errands with Zach. It took a little bit out of me, but I'm glad I got out.  I even took a walk tonight.

June 15, Sat
Feeling better daily.  Just take naps more than I used to.

June 16, Sun
Josh and I did cameras at church.  Wasn't sure if I'd be up for it, but no prob!  Matt took Scott to the airport after first service.  I felt bad that Scott had to leave us on Father's Day.  The boys and I celebrated by going to Mel's Diner, (Josh's choice).

June 17, Mon
Matt and I went grocery shopping.  It's sure a lot easier when someone goes with me!  Feeling back to normal!

June 18, Tues
Zach and I had to do a couple of errands across town.  Made fajitas tonight while I feel up to it!

June 19, Wed
I'm feeling really good.  Did a ton of laundry.  Matt made a mean lasagna.  Finally went in the pool.

Of course my idea of a good time is floating on a tube!

Lily of the Nile or Agapanthus.  I call them 4th of July flowers cause they only come out this time of year and remind me of exploding fireworks.


June 20, Thurs
I know I only have a week left of feeling good before my next treatment, so I'm trying to live life as normal as possible.  Did some housework.  Zach and Josh mowed the front and back lawns, so it would look nice for their dad.  Matt made teriyaki pork, veggies and rice for dinner.  He's becoming quite the cook!  I picked up Scott late tonight at the airport.

My friend asked me today if I'm losing any hair.  I said probably not much more than normal. I feel extremely blessed!

June 21, Fri
I had to get some blood work done today.  Since I had my surgery, I'm only suppose to get my blood drawn on my right arm, but that isn't my best arm for drawing blood.  The technicians have to take it in weird places like the side veins, not the main one in the middle. Now I know why friends suggested that I have a port put in (which I didn't do).

I also had my last visit to Dr. Gulbrandson today.  He checked my surgical site for the last time, no aspiration.  Everything is good, good movement, healing well.  He shook my hand and wished me well. I told him if I ever needed surgery again I'd come back to him!
 I hope I never see him again.

How things can change in a day!  More and more hair is coming out!

June 22, Sat
The Usual, (that is picking up, cleaning, laundry, etc).  Josh vacuumed.  Zach cleaned their bathroom. Matt made some chili. Gotta get Scott packed.

Ok, it is official, I'm losing my hair!  I don't know how much time I have until it all falls out!

So, here I am Saturday.  Take a good look!  I haven't wanted to brush my hair much.

Even after just touching my hair like this, hair comes out.

This is my hair collection for today only.  Anyone want to make a bet on when I lose it all?
