Day 4 & 5 of chemo and I made it to work :)

Day four of chemo was pretty uneventful. Yay!  I stayed home all day and just finished decorating my house for Christmas. I must say, it has been a bit hard to really get into Christmas so far. I did have to lay down and rest a couple of times, which is just weird. I am not one to ever take a nap during the day, so to truly feel the need to rest is just different.

Then just before I went to bed I got out the "tlc" (tender loving care) American Cancer Society catalog and ordered some head coverings for my soon to be bald head. This is going to be really hard for me guys. I just can't even wrap my mind around having no hair. Dan is amazing, he keeps telling me how beautiful I am going to be with a bald head. Love him so much!  I have an appointment to get my hair cut on Friday the 16th of December :( 

Today, day five of chemo I went to work. I was so happy that I felt good enough to go to work today. I made it through most of the day, but did leave about one hour early. I all of a sudden had a wave of nausea, tired, heat, sweaty, ill feeling. Just needed to get home to my couch. 

I am now home on my couch :) I feel very tired and just a little off. But doing okay.

Our beautiful friends Si & Vonnie Smith are bringing us chili and corn bread for dinner tonight. I am so excited to see them and eat their chili. It's the best!!
