I keep thinking of ways to tell people I am doing okay, Im just not sure how to say in a positve way..." I feel better than day 4 but still feel like HELL!" I do feel better...regaining more strength each day, I just have a hard time not being able to get up and do things for myself like im used to. This too shall pass and it will get better. This week I should start feeling a little more like myself again.
Several things that have made this day a good one:
My sissy came over and brought me some new hats and scarves, Taylor helped me wash my hair in the sink and my hot male nurse gave me a bath :) I must also mention the mashed potatoes and cheezy potatoes that saved my life today! LOL....they were THAT GOOD and Ive been eating them all day ( its the little things.) I also found that adding koolaide or paower aide to the water that I gagged on everytime I took a drink has helped alot! So...Sneeder went out in search of every available flavor to add to my water and brought them home! :)
Hair Update: I still have it....I doubt for much longer. My hair hurts and i can only guess that thats not a good thing. But im ready with my new hats and scarves...its all part of it. I just have to look at it like each new thing that happens is going to bring me that much closer to the end of my treatments!!!
Tomorrow will be a better day and Monday will be better than that....so bring it on....One full week down...8 to go!
You simply amaze me, Gina. You are so strong and beautiful - both inside and out. And brave. You are going to kick this thing's ass to oblivion. Seeing all the love and support around you is a reflection of the life you have created. Thank you for sharing your experience and writing this blog. Praying for you and the Snead's.

I'm so proud of you! Also, I think you can totally pull off a hat! This will reveal a whole new style for you - and you won't even have to mess with Beauty Brands! ;) Keeping your whole family in my prayers everyday...Love you! -Julie
