Back to normal.

I thought I would just put another post with picture to show I am back to normal again and balance out the looking-crappy-in-hospital photo that was on the earlier post. I wouldn't want everyone to think that's the current me.

I am feeling relatively free of side effects at the moment (although I don't know how my immune system is doing and whether it is back to normal so I am still being a bit careful and on the look out for signs of infection). I think a new measure of how well I am doing could be the "have I put on make-up today?" test. Today I started wearing make up again and have even matched my eye colour to my clothes so I must be feeling well. However one thing I am coming to realise is that things can all change very quickly when on chemo.

Another thing to report is that I am growing hair on my head! I have now got the softest lightest baby fluff covering it. It catches the light and glistens white which gives me a sort of halo-like look.

I am still a bit deflated after loosing out on 4 days last week due to my hospital admission. I guess these days I build up the occasions I get for a bit of serious socialising, and therefore have a lot further to fall when I don't get to do them. But, I have to stop dwelling on that and look to the next thing.... hopefully if this chemo leaves me feeling a bit brighter I can make the most of the sunny days that are coming.
