Good Days

It seems self-centered to call particular days "good" just because I am feeling relatively good and have a good appetite. However, I will still leave the title, as it does fit, and I am not saying other days are "bad".

Catching up
I have felt particularly good for about the last three days. I have had an appetite and have been enjoying food, and really have just been quite happy about that!

Balance
Before that I had been struggling more with balance.
From life decisions to bowel function.
How active vs. restive should I be?
I am finding more balance, and realize that each day, maybe each moment may hold those questions...
and am thankful for help in the process of working them out.

Tuesday - Wig Day and a Visit to Randa's
The big event on Tuesday, was that Molly G. came over (with her wisdom and experience and good humor), and John drove all three of us to Randa's Cutting Edge on Mound Rd., south of 14 Mile in Warren. I had not definitely decided to get a wig. The people at chemotherapy said not everyone does, and that there are lots of other comfortable head coverings. But they also gave me a card for Randa's, saying she gives "Free wigs to cancer patients". So I thought I would try it out as an option. Randa is a really kind and generous and sweet woman, and sent me home with two wigs actually. I had not expected to duplicate my own hair, so my goal was more some sort of head covering... maybe more for fun than to try to look exactly like I look now. So they are both short and different from my current hair.

Tomorrow's Hair
Even though my hair is not falling out yet, I know it will. My plan has been to get it cut short, rather than to find long hanks of it on my pillow in the morning. So even though my head and neck are still loving that warm protection today, my "nadir" (low white blood count) days are expected to be coming up this coming week, and it seems better to get out while I am more able. Tomorrow, Nicole is coming to take me to see Julie, who will cut my hair SHORT!


Wise Parental Advice
Mom told me to keep smiling.
Dad told me I do not have to always smile.
I need both those words!
Thanks!
I love you!
