Its the weekend!

The weekend is finally here! Not that it matters much to me. Ive spent all week in bed trying to get better. Our goal is to get well enough that they will allow me to get my Yervoy infusion on wednesday. Ive remained drugged up all week hoping and praying this stuff helps. Im still not close to feeling normal. Too much talking, or movement causes me to go into a coughing fit, and I still wheeze a bit when breathing. I have 4 days to get to feeling better. Lets hope that happens.

Due to me being ill, we dont really have any plans this weekend. We are staying in. I do have dinner with my mom tonight. My little sister is going to bring her hair supplies and hopefully give me a haircut. Not that I have much to cut. Its growing back slowly. I still have a giant bald spot on the side of my head from radiation. Im beginning to think its not going to grow back. (that was a possible side effect) Not to be vain or anything, but Im thinking about getting extensions in my hair. It would cover the bald spot up, and give me some length. Ill take anything to have a real hairstlye these days. The only issue with extensions is that if I end up having chemo Ill loose what I have left of my hair, and then the money spent on extensions is wasted. So Im trying to hold off until we get my scans in a few weeks, and know for sure if I have to have chemo or if we dodged that bullet. On the other hand, Im not even sure if I qualify yet for extensions. I think my hair is still too short.

I know its silly to talk about hair, when all the serious medical stuff is going on. Im just ready to somewhat look like myself again. Between the weight gain due to the steroids, and other medication Im on, and the lack of hair, Im not recognizing the person in the mirror. Thats why Ive decided to try to do something about it. Or at least look into doing something about it.  :)

So we have a play pen for the baby. It allows him to crawl around and play, yet keep him in a baby safe zone. He discovered that one of the panels is broken, and he can escape! Guess Im going to have to fix it. Really puts a kink in things when your kid is able to get out of baby jail.
