DAY 1 (March 5, 2011) -
Well I slept pretty well last night. (Without my melatonin bc I don't have it yet). I have been pretty tired all day. Didn' t do too much. Didn't get to take a nap but really wanted/needed one. My taste has been really off today. It is pretty bad. Not a one thing has tasted good. My head has been very tender today. Not sure if that is a sign that my hair may start falling out soon or not. Guess we will see...
DAY 2 - (March 6, 2011) -
Slept well again without any meds. Woke up very tired today and stayed tired all day. Again my taste was waaaayy off. I did get to take a nap. Wish it were longer but I guess 2 hrs isn't so bad. LOL
Trying to eat well but it really is hard when food and drinks just don't taste good. I feel like my hair is falling out a little bit. But that could just be my mind playing with me. Well that is all I got for today.
DAY 3 - (March 7, 2011) -
Slept okay last night (no meds) until Kalli woke me up at 5:30. I was up with her until about 7ish and we both went back to sleep. Once we woke up for the day I was extremely tired and had a headache. I took her to the sitters and came back home and slept most of the day. I didn't eat well today. Things still don't taste right. Noticed some hair on my pillow this morning and strands were falling all day. Still nothing crazy but it is starting!
Will be taking the melatonin today so we will see how it works out for me.
DAY 4 - (March 8, 2011) -
Well didn't sleep any different after taking the Melatonin. Was pretty tired again today and I had this sharp annoying pain on my right shoulder. It was so bad that I needed to take some pain meds for it. I called my Doc just to make sure that the meds wouldn't interfere with my Chemo. The nurse insured me it was fine to take them. And guess what? They didn't even work. Well it took the edge off a little. They pain has nothing to do with my cancer. So I am not sure if I have a pinched nerve or what. But I may have to call my primary doc if this doesn't clear up soon. Sorry to rant! So my taste is back to normal YAY!! But my appetite still not that good. Hope tomorrow is a better day....
DAY 5 - (March 9, 2011) -
Slept decent. Woke up at 5 something when Kurt was getting ready for work and it took me over an hour to fall back alseep. But I didn't feel as tired today. Still needed a nap. My shoulder still in a lot of pain. Appetite is starting to come back which is good. I had a hard time pushing myself to eat this week. It really is hard to try and eat when nothing taste good. And this time around was the worst my taste has been. I was blowing my hair dry today and hair was flying around. It still isn't a ton that I am losing but I am definietly losing some hair. Slowly but surely!
DAY 6 - (March 10, 2011) -
Slept good until Kalli woke me up at 5 and decided she wasn't going back to sleep. LOL. Woke up feeling pretty good. (Still have shoulder pain) Today is Kalli's 2nd Birthday and my mom and I took her to the Cincinnati Children's Museum. We spent a couple of hours there and had a nice time. Needless to say I was exhausted by the time we got back to my moms. I was unable to nap despite how tired I was. So I should hopefully sleep great tonight. My appetite is back to complete normal now. I am happy for that. I want to be able to continue gaining a few more pounds. Had more hair blowing around today as I was blow drying. I just keep wondering if my hair is going to A) Continue to slowly fall out and just become rather thin. B) Start out slow and then become large sections and become patchy or C) Not do much at all. It is kind of driving me crazy. I have been preparing myself to lose my hair and I kinda just want whatever is going to happen to happen already. Not that I want my hair to fall out but I am just so antsy about it I guess.
Welp that is all I got for Day 6.
DAY 7 - (March 11, 2011) -
Had the best sleep that I had all week! I was able to get a few things done around the house. Still had to take a nap but wasn't as exhausted as I was earlier in the week. My hair is starting to come out even more now. When I run my hands through my hair I get a pretty good amount that comes out. But at this point you can't tell a difference. Will keep you updated on the hair loss if anything crazy happens. Otherwise I won't post until next chemo.
