Well, it's starting to happen and pretty much on time too. Hair falls out throughout the day, comes out in my brushes, and if I run my fingers through my hair, out it comes. It's hard even though I knew this would happen, it's still hard! I've got a dinner date with a friend and I hope to still have hair when I see her. I'm pretty sure by the time this weekend comes, I will have it coming out in clumps and so it will be time to shave everything off. In some ways I hope it gradually thins and in other ways, I hope it starts coming out in bunches so I know it's time to get rid of everything. We will see how this progresses.
I took the girls out for a walk by myself today and it felt good. I'm celebrating all the little things that I used to do that I'm again able to do. I honestly didn't expect to feel this good on chemo, so this is a complete blessing. I'm a bit anxious knowing my second cycle is coming up as you never know how this is going to work.....maybe it will be cumulitive and I won't feel quite as good with each cycle. Anyway, for now I'm trying to really enjoy the good days.
For the most part I'm recovering well from my surgery. I have days where swelling comes back and I keep wondering if I over did something or is this the beginning of lymphadema. I can't wait for my body to be completely healed so I can stop worrying about whether I'm working out too hard or lifting something I'm not supposed to. I'm amazed at the progress so far but ready to be healed and done with the hysterectomy part of stuff.
