Chapter 4

This last week was filled with ups and downs for me. I haven't had much motivation to write, but I am coming around today. When I hear bad news, I just feel numb. I am in acceptance with it, and we just have to deal with it and get through; no use in feeling sad and being upset. A few people close to me have become sick and one hospitalized. I won't mention names for their privacy but for the families who know what I am talking about, know that I am thinking of you.
I knew I wouldn't be too upset when it came to shaving my head. But lately, I dread getting in the shower. The little stubble that I have is slowly coming out, leaving me patchy. I am just covered with tiny pieces of hair when in the shower. Every time is a reminder that soon I will be completely bald, I just wish it would happen all at once. But we can't always get what we wish for.
I was scheduled to have chemo on Friday but it got delayed until Monday. I went for bloodwork on Thursday to make sure I could go for chemo, but my white blood cells are still too low and it would be too dangerous to go ahead. So hopefully my body produced enough over the weekend and I can proceed with treatment tomorrow.
On the bright side, I have been feeling well. I have been spending a lot of time with family and friends. Shopping, playing video games, breakfast dates, and baking :) Made some pretty cupcakes for a baby shower this evening, excited to see the girls at work.
Just a little reminder that Feb.13-19 is Random Acts of Kindness Week. Do something special for someone you care for or a complete stranger. It is rewarding to make someone's day by performing a selfless act of kindness.
