Overall I think I had a clearer head with the 2ND round of treatment. I was still down for three days after though. So this next treatment coming up on Monday the 14Th, I will get 2-3 hours of IV fluids the day after. Hopefully this will give me some energy to get out of bed and eat or drink something. I figured it was worth a try.
People are asking about my bone scan results and I see it isn't posted anywhere. The bone scan was clean.
I made one of my goals last week. That was I made it to my nephews graduation on Saturday. I did give in to the first goal of trying to make it to Lansing on Friday too. I do seem to try to make up for lost days once I am feeling good. On Sunday I woke up in time to make it to 8:30 mass, then we went to Holland to watch a different nephew play a baseball game. Monday and Tuesday I went to work, Rachel and Emily had a game of their own tonight and Rachel made an out so we got to go to the ice cream store. YEAH!
I think it is going to be an up and down thing for me. It could be all down so I can't complain about it in that respect. The hair started falling out last Wednesday I think. So I went and had my head shaved. I bought a wig. Some people say they like my new hair, and others say they couldn't tell. I think it looks pretty real myself. The kids are comfortable with it.
I do like when I take it off. It feels like freedom when it is off. I guess imagine wearing a brace on your head and then taking it off. The release of pressure is such a relief. I am not bald yet. I don't look in the mirror too much with out something on my head. I am sure in time I will be able too. Paul offered to shave his head too. But I asked him to grow his since I can't have any. I'm not sure if I will win that suggestion.
Again, I want to thank everyone for their support. In whatever you have done. A thought, a prayer, an act of kindness. It all means a great deal. Tears come to my eyes every time I write to tell you thank you. It is awesome what you do. And you know what you have done. Feel the love come right back to you. Thank You!
