Change...

As I mentioned in the last update, what little hair I had began to thin. You know, I thought that since I shaved my head as short as I could with trimmers it wouldn't fall out because I didn't have the weight of my long hair. However, I was wrong! So, yesterday I sat in the bathroom floor and Ryan used his trimmers to shave my hair shorter because believe it or not, it had grown since the first time I had it shaved. He trimmed it as short as he could get it. I then rinsed my head and more came out so I decided we should just do it, shave it with a razor. We didn't do it immediately but by the end of the evening my head was smooth...and COLD!! I'll be honest, it bothered me a bit at first because even though I had shaved my head I still had hair, now there is NO hair! Now, I'm just glad it's not going to continue falling out but I have to get some more scarves and hats because my head is REALLY going to be cold now! Since it was a little bit of a shock Ryan reminded me, this is only temporary. He is right and he has a perfect way of reminding me daily as I found this note on our meal plan board in our kitchen :)

On to tomorrow. Tomorrow will be LONG! We have to be at the Surgery Center (our 2nd home since this will be my 3rd surgery in 8 weeks) at 6 am to have my port placed at 7 am. Of course this one will be a short surgery. I then have chemo at 1 pm but this time will be much better as far as being stuck goes because I should only have to be stuck one time, in my port! I'm sure I will be pretty drowsy since having anesthesia in the morning so hopefully for Ryan's sake I can stay awake during the 5 hours of chemo :) So, on to round 2!!
