Written on Tuesday:
My hair is showing evidence of a curl. Eyelashes are beginning to bud. Eyebrows still very sparse, but I think they are growing. It's all too slow; I'm ready for full-hair action. And it's weird to need a haircut with only a half inch on my head, but there are random wires sticking out all over and it's starting to look unkempt. I know there is still plenty of chemo in my system...not really sure what the half-life of those chemicals are, but I'm still pretty danged tired although getting better every day. I wonder if I'm still anemic?
Got a much-needed massage today, and have been barely functional since, requiring all my strength to make dinner, although I kept it very simple. I really do need to consult a nutritionist, I just don't know who would be appropriate. I need help with meal planning and preparation to focus on the types of foods I think we should be eating here.
Dave is working on posting some record reviews that he's written lately-all classical and baroque. I am the inadequate computer tutor and doing my best to help him navigate these confusing sites. The evenings go by too damn fast; time for personal pursuits is so precious and my energy is still so limited.
