Nov 6th. Well I did it. I cut off all the hair. Well I'm not bald, yet but it's only about 1/2 inch all over. Maybe an inch, but either way, really short. My friend CC went with me to hold my hand. Glad she was there, it kinda took the butterflies away. I think Brittany, my hairdresser, was more nervous than I was. She & I have been trying to let my hair grow long since I began going to her. A little ironic huh? :) I decided to go ahead and cut it since I'm starting Chemo this Wednesday. Dr Whitaker said I'll probably lose my hair a few weeks later anyway. For some reason it doesn't seem as bad to see 1 inch hair laying on my pillow in the morning compared to 10 inches. Oh well, it's only hair right? It'll grow back in 5-6 months :) Now the eyebrows going, that's a whole other story. Michael, my oldest son, says with no eyebrows I can draw them on every morning depending on the mood I'm in, mad, happy, quizzical...hahahaha. Dan, as always, told me that it's the perfect style for me. Now we all know this isn't true but for those of you that know Dan this is exactly what you expect him to say. He's probably just about one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. Well like they say, opposites attract. :) I also know with all my heart that he loves me as I love him. No matter what, we are in for the long haul, good or bad, in sickness as in heath.
My youngest son, Lucas, will be home late Sunday night. He is coming home after serving in the Navy. It's a little ironic that now is when he's coming home. I haven't told him yet about the craziness going on around here. I just thought it would be better to talk to him face to face. My boys have lost both their grandmothers to similar things so I don't want him to worry. Once he sees me, he'll see I'm doing well.
Nothing scheduled for Sunday. I think that's actually the first day since I was diagnosed that I haven't had something going on test wise. I think I'll just work in the yard and enjoy the day. Monday back to work, at least for one day. Dan & I are taking each day as it is given to us and enjoying them.
