wigging out/FX update

This is me trying to tell you that CHEMO IS FUN! (heh. don't buy it!!)

Seriously tho, there is fun to be had, namely in trying on wigs. I went to a wig store called Tiffany Wigs
which not only takes insurance cards, but is run by a woman who used to style the B-52s' hair!


This may not thrill some of you, but it thrilled me all to hell. I mean, conservative is easy, beehives are HARD.

However, I did get a good, serviceable, short blond wig that looks a lot like my hair when it's straightened. Fine and good, everyone happy.

But, damned if i didn't want that long one....sigh...

Ok, on the FX front:
day one -- friday: Not much in the way of FX. Some nausea, some loss of appetite. At work I seem fine, just a little physically weak.

day 2 -- sat: Lots of nausea for me. So far that's the biggest side effect of chemo. Anti-nausea meds don't really cut it. No vomiting, but a queasiness like a bad hangover, food grosses me out. I manage to run 2 miles and buy a wig, then i crash.

day 3 -- sun: today i feel crappy, but not as nauseated. I can eat, but I'm pretty weak and tired. there's this weird wooziness I don't like. It's still reminicent of bad, mixed-drink, hangovers, although mercifully without the headache... Today I'm gonna walk a bit, do some yoga and laundry, and otherwise take it eaaaasy...
