discovery

     I made a great discovery last night.  I have many, tiny hairs coming in on my head, eye brows and lashes.  I kind of obsessed about losing my lashes and brows.  I even counted my eye brows a few times, keeping track of how many I had left.  Shaving my head when that hair started falling out wasn't a big deal for me.  You still look like a person if you have the hair surrounding your eyes.  When you lose that, you just look weird and then you try to pencil in eye brows and that looks ridiculous.  So with my little bits of eye brows, I can shade in to make them appear fuller until more come in.

     Now one of two things could happen.  I could lose all the little hairs again because I have 7 more treatments to go or I could not lose them and they will continue to grow.  I did have close to 3 weeks off from chemo, so maybe that's why hair has started growing back.  If I do go back to losing hair, at least I know how quickly the hair will grow back.  Taking bets on what colour and texture my new hair will be.  Right now it's peach fuzz, like a baby...very soft.

     Mom left just a little while ago.  She will be flying home with a friend on Friday.  I will miss her and appreciate all she has done for us this year.  I'm doing really well and other than having someone to hang out with all day, I'm able to do everything for myself.  I know everyone at home is looking forward to having her back.  I can't wait to hear what Joey does when he sees her.  Lots of love to you mom :)
