Today is the day...

Today is the day my hair is falling out – day 13. Last night when I went to bed the top of my head was really sore. Not headache sore but it felt like someone hit me and it was bruised. This morning when I had a bath and washed my hair it started coming out by the handfuls. When I run my fingers through it I get a lot each time. My friend is coming over after school to cut it off for me. I hope I still have some for her to cut by then! I was going to bake something today but I guess that isn’t such a good idea :-/

Audrey left yesterday. We had a nice visit. It was really great having her here as I was still in a fog when Murray and Vince left for Red Deer. She helped me out a lot with cleaning, cooking and baking and she encouraged me to get out of the house for walks and stuff.

I thought I was going to get away without the mouth sores but they started on Sunday. Other than that I am pretty much back to normal and I’m getting used to having this life line hanging out of my arm. I didn’t even need to have a nap yesterday!
