Discharge nurse said side effects are cumulative so it's possible they could worsen or just appear out of nowhere in the next two weeks. Yay. Hear the sarcasm. More fatigue, headaches, skin irritation, digestion issues, insomnia, etc. Then in November, lets see how I handle the higher dose chemo. Woohoo (also sarcasm).
With Charles on furlough until who knows when, I am even more excited about getting back to my own job. A friend asked tonight if I like what I do and I was probably overly emphatic with my answer. I love my job! I enjoy my daily tasks. I like my coworkers. I love learning new things. I'm really looking forward to getting my certificate (april) so I can be a full time engineer. Plus, the office is about 4 miles from our house which is super convenient. And I'm so grateful that I have this amazing job to go back to.
I have my mind set on getting back to my 5k training. Before my surgery, I got up to a two mile run at 10 minute mile avg. This time, I'm starting off in WAY worse shape. I get winded walking the bigs to school and that's .5 mile loop at five year old pace.
I'm trimming down the hawk in hopes that everything can TRY to grow back in together. So this is what's left. Doesn't even look blue anymore. I've heard that hair can grow back differently after something like this. Maybe I'll have curls this time ;) although I hope not. I have no idea how to style curls!!
The back is already growing back but then again it didn't fall out in the first place. I had shaved it for the hawk about 4 weeks ago. So sexy, right? Think I can rock a g.i.jane??
