This is my second Big Witch chemo ... four more to go. I got tired earlier and the fatigue lasted longer this time around. Yes, I know ... the cumulative effect, and boy can I attest to that! I was knocked out Friday night and was so tired all weekend-long. I spent Mother's Day on the couch snuggled with Sarah and I couldn't ask for anything better. John picked up dinner from Red Robin and I was able to eat about a quarter of the burger.
My absolute neutrophils plummeted to .5 which is the lowest it has ever been and so I have been restricted to the home and have to do the usual avoiding crowds, etc., etc. Explains the extreme fatigue too.
I couldn't wake up on Monday so that was a work from home day and thank goodness I had two ABA projects to work on.
I got a bit grumpy too ... I am attributing it to the extreme fatigue that not only could I not walk straight but I couldn't think straight either. God will forgive me.
My hair is continuing to fall out. There's still a complete thin layer all over my head but last night I got tired of sweeping hair off the floor, brushing it off clothes, picking it out of my comb, and I just cut it all off. I now have sparse spikes all over my head ... I look like an inmate at a POW camp, but I have come to terms with it. In August it will start to grow back. I've been walking around the house bare-headed. I know a lot of this freaks Sarah out but she says she is getting used to my bald head!
This no hair thing is a little freeing ... better than dealing with falling hair.
My crappy week is at an end ... I look forward to a new week.
