Better
Just a quick post because I have much to do. We hope to go north to visit with family yet this afternoon which means packing and getting ready to leave for a couple of days.
I am feeling better today than yesterday. For those of you who didn’t know, I did a round of chemo on Friday – the old fashioned kind (quite toxic) mixed with the new fashioned kind (which added five hours to the process). Friday night and yesterday, I felt quite sick. Not nauseous exactly, I took medication to hold that off, but severely hung over, poisoned, weak, foul-mouthed, and just generally rotten. Most of that has passed on, I hope.
This is kind of what I remember from the last time I did this particular version of chemo thirteen years ago. The bad taste in my mouth won’t go away until I am off the drugs for a while – months if I recall. So, I will live with that. The hangover part will be there for a day or two every treatment which will be every three weeks.
My appearance will change. I will lose my hair in about two weeks so I hope the weather turns warm by then. I’ll have to install a mirror in the shower so I can shave my head in there. If your going to be partially bald, might as well go for the whole look I think. It’s bound to improve my sex appeal.
Anyway, that’s where we are right now. As I said, this is short because I have to get moving. More later.

as for the completely bald look, your sex appeal is just dandy with or without hair.....i guarantee you'll be a helluvalot sexier than britney spears!

[I think the chrome dome look is in this spring!?!]
I'm not entirely sure you need anymore sex appeal, but if'n you're gonna have it, you should work it!
How long do you have to have this treatment? Every 3 weeks for...?
Sending hugs and good vibes your way. Have fun up nort'.
