BALD
It is definitely a four letter word in my house! I really am having the hardest time with the fact that there is about 2 more days before my hair is going to fall out. Cancer is a bad enough word to have in your vocabulary but now this! It makes me sooooo mad that this disease is going to make me have to lose my hair! I know I can wear a wig and I even know I am going to get my hair back BUT it does not make it any easier!!!
WIGS
A nicer word but yet not one I wanted in my vocabulary. I have ordered my wig which I hope arrives before the rest of my hair is gone. I will have to get used to shampooing and conditioning my hair when it is not on my head now. It could be easier, I guess.
COLD
I have never been a cold person. I go without a coat on many occasions during the cold months. BUT I have come to the point that I am cold a great deal of time during the day! I am told that when I have no hair I will be even colder. This will be a strange change in my life! I have been using many of my favorite blankets throughout the rooms in the house which is cozy.
HATS
One of my new best friends...I am accumulating new hats that will be with me all day long. I plan to find some hats that can be worn so that I do not have to deal with a wig everyday. There are luckily many hats on the American Cancer Society catalog so I have ordered a few to try out.
SICK
Chemo is tomorrow and I am going to spend the next three days sick and dizzy.
MEDS
The drugs I will have to take over the next three days will do a number on my body but I pray they also kill this cancer!!!
.... there are many more I am sure but these are the current ones on my mind!
