Just Some Updates

So it's a few days after chemo... I'm feeling mostly okay, a little tired and I'm starting to get that weird taste in my mouth...where everything tastes weird. My stomach is a little cranky, the senna isn't working :( I was told not to take it on Thursday and I think that was a bad idea... But all in all, so far so good.

I'm heading to my aunt and uncles tomorrow for Easter. It should be a good time. I haven't seen some of them since Christmas. I'm only concerned that they won't have anything I'll like to eat. Fingers crossed that they do. I'll probably eat something before we go too - just to be on the safe side. My mom made a chocolate cake for desert though, should be yumstastic.

I still can't believe that email that went out. I hope everyone disregarded it... How terrible. Ugh.

What else... eh not much is going on with me. I bought some fabric on Friday to try and make headbands/bandannas. I haven't started to try yet though. Maybe later this week. I'm not so crafty. I haven't washed my hair since Wednesday. I'm so gross, ha ha. I've showered at least though, just used a shower cap. I'll wash it tomorrow for Easter, gotta pretend I look normal.

I think my eye lashes are starting to fall out. I've noticed a lot of stragglers since Thursday. Kinda weird they're falling out now, but I guess it's sorta normal. I hardly wear makeup nowadays...maybe once a week. My skin gets really red after chemo, I think from the decadron... I should probably wear makeup more often after chemo, but it's such a pain. I used to be a person that always wore makeup, now I never do. It's so weird.

Anywho, that's all I got for now. I think I'm going to take some drugs and go to bed soon. XO

Hi Kelly, hope you are ok today and had a lovely Easter at your relatives.

I have found a site that you might want to look at although I suspect you may already know them.

www.buffusa.com

They are quite popular here Chris mum has just bought one for him.

Good luck to Drew with the run, what a fantastic cause.

Will email you later
