That would be hair, shedding at an accelerated rate. Three weeks after chemo. Yuck. I still have enough to look ok, but I how much more will go in the days ahead and I wonder about what round two of chemo will do. Maybe I'm one of the chosen few who will loose a lot of hair. All of it? What ever. I'm sure I will cope. But it is not pleasant seeing the amount of hair that's come out the past two days.
To those of you who may have prayed, I made it to the office today and logged a productive three hours. Thank you! I had just the right amount of energy, and took care of all the 'have-to's' but one. I had intended to go yesterday, but an unscheduled nap and a couple of longish phone calls made mincemeat of that intention.
My biggest challenge is strategizing for chemo treatment 2. Things to get done before it starts. Supplies to lay in. I guess that's it. Just two lists. Not too bad.
Well, that is about all there is to my life these last two days.
I am very grateful that there is nothing awful in it.
I am most grateful that I feel basically OK. Tired and somewhat sore, but OK.
Grateful there's not more than 10 (maybe more like 5!) hours of work per week that has to be done by me. Grateful for the others who are willing and can understand and do the rest of the work!
Most of all grateful that what ever comes my way in life, God is Lord over all of it and is there to carry me through, as a shepherd carries a wounded lamb.
All praise and thanksgiving be to our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ!
We wait in hope for the Lord; he is our help and our shield.
In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name.
May your unfailing love rest upon us, O Lord, even as we put our hope in you.
Psalm 33:20-22
