Of hair and other things

I’m happy to write that this past week has probably been the best I’ve felt overall since this all started. My back pain is much better. I’m able to sleep without taking sleeping pills, (so far) my surgery general aches and pains are gone - I just felt kind of normal--I even went to a yoga class! However, the mouth and feet aches and pains started to increase along with me being able to pull out pretty large clumps of hair early this morning. My hair has also turned dark brown and feels much softer- like the down on a baby bird. While ginger said I may not lose much hair because of the Taxol, she warned that it may change texture or color- it's just different for each person. I just didn’t feel like crying about it - it’s just hair, right?! Anyway, I am going to make an appointment with Jen to get a style cut into my hair - might as well have fun with it. I've always looked nice in short hair!
