Kaia asked me all the time now, “Can I see you with your hair off?” Then she’ll ask, “Are you mommy or daddy?” She asked Gigi to take her hair off too and then asked if she could take her own hair off. Note to self: Keep scissors even more hidden than usual. She has also adopted the Styrofoam head that my wig came with. The wig is called the Erica so Kaia named the head Miss Erica. She colored in her eyes and lips and sleeps with it. It is very creepy but sort of sweet.
So far the second round of chemo is treating me ok. No sickness. Not as many headaches this time either which is good. As with the first, the tiredness kicked in on day three which was yesterday. I’m pretty tired today as well but it doesn’t seem as bad as last time. Hopefully, rest today will make it even better. I hated resting last time because it was so beautiful out but today is it so crappy the couch and movies are calling my name!
My mom once again cleaned my house top to bottom this weekend. She even shampooed the carpets! It is such a relief not to worry about cleaning! Dad planted some tomato and bell pepper plants for me. I can’t wait to eat out of my own garden. Kaia and I have completely redone most of the landscaping in the front yard and it was so therapeutic so my mini garden will be a long term project I can work on. And eat from!
Love to all.
I love the wig on you, it looks really natural. But...the mohawk ROCKS! You could totally pull off a mohawk all the time. I hope this round is easier on you. Lots of love and prayers for even "squishier" boobs.
ReplyDeleteThe wig really does look beautiful and very natural. I agree with Stephanie, you could so pull off the mohawk or just plain shave head. I continue to be amazed and inspired by your attitude. You are very special. I hope you get some rest and as always am keeping you in prayers each and everyday.

I love your hair. It reminds me of when you were little, you would tell Pa-Pa to roll up his window, it was messing your hair up. I also like your wig, looks real natural, just like Crystal. Keep your spirits & faith up. It will help. May the Lord be with you & Bless you. I love you

ReplyDeleteYou look fantastic (with and without the cute wig)! I can already picture you in a cool scarp wrap-y kind of thing.
