Post chemo

Day two...  I seem to get two good days before feeling sick, so today I did a crap load of little errands, ran four miles, bla bla bla.  I am tired now.  Tomorrow I will attempt to motivate to walk with a friend at eight (!) complete with running back to the car.  And still hope to have energy for a lunch date at the Indian buffet.  That place is a real highlight.  I always crave it.  This is all part of trying to follow the advice of a friend who has been through what I am going through.  She said to accept offers of help and socializing, which I haven't been very good with up to now.   I am attempting to actually answer my phone, and (gasp) return calls, which I have not been too great about.  But see?  I have two dates tomorrow, after which I will need a nap but whatever.

Chemo was uneventful.  I did run into a friend in there who is also having chemo, and with whom I had been meaning to get in touch but hadn't.  It was nice to sit and chat with her, oddly comforting to talk with someone in my boat, though I do not, obviously wish for anyone to join me in this boat.  It is a shitty, scary boat, but I am making my adjustments in it.  I will write a longer post when I can think of something incredibly interesting to write about.

Oh yes, there is one thing.  I found the perfect head wear for a bald woman.  If you have a friend who is stuck with a bald head get her one of these.  Go to rei.com and search under women's headwear for a Buff.  There is a summer ( lightweight, coolmax fabric) as well as winter variety.  I opted for summer because my hats are so hot indoors.  It is a long tube of fabric, no seams, breathable, and all that, and if you watch the video at the listing a nice woman will show you a gazillion ways to wear it.
