I knew it would happen but not exactly when or how, but yesterday afternoon I could pull out my hair in clumps. And my nurse then jumped in to offer to shave my head. At that point was a relief to have that part behind me.
Yesterday my PT coerced me into sitting on the edge of the bed and encouraged me to get out of the bed and into my chair as much as possible. I have been in this uncomfortable bed full time for several days. So when Rick got here, he helped me into my chair and I spent the afternoon and evening in my chair, That wasn’t all that comfortable either – there’s no place like home – but was better than the bed.
I think about how poorly I was feeling last night compared to this morning: I actually feel kind of perky. I’m looking forward to when all the feeling so bad is behind me.

Diane, I just added a comment, but it disappeared. So, I'm reposting.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see you post another entry in your blog! I'm glad you're feeling better. (I like the idea of you feeling perky. :-)
It was great to visit with you Sunday afternoon. I was happy to see you awake and alert.
I look forward to seeing you this coming weekend. We must get a picture of your shaved head!
I love you, sister.
Diane, thanks so much for sharing your journey and "rebirth". I look forward to reading your blog with every post that you make. You're in my thoughts and prayers every day. Also, I'm sure you're still beautiful with your shaved head. You can look forward to growing new hair soon and I know a few people who ended up with better hair than before....dark & curly!
ReplyDeleteHang in there, you know we're all praying and cheering you on.

Dark and curly hair sounds fun. So glad to know that you were able to get out of bed even for a while and especially that you were able to post a comment for us. Keep pushing forward. (I had a dream the other night and you were out of your wheel chair and dancing - I can't remember if you had dark curly hair - but it made me very happy)
