This past weekend I was completely lazy and it felt good! I don't workout on the weekends. I try to rest since I hit the gym Monday through Friday. I can tell you that not working out does make me more tired and way more lazy. I really did nothing to speak of this weekend.
The most activity I got this weekend was washing my hair...yes, washing my hair. You know if you have been reading my blog that washing the hair is a very big deal for me since I am fighting hard to keep my hair every day while going through chemo using the Penguin Cold Caps. So the update is it is now 47 days since I started chemo and I still have a full head of hair. It is not particularly pretty looking since I can't style it like I normally would, but it is hair and I will take that! Most people on my chemo lose all hair by day 18 after starting chemo so I know I am very lucky that I read about Penguin Cold Caps!
On Saturday morning I did wash my hair and of course I freak out every time thinking it is all going to fall out. I did lose some hair, but it was less than I have in the past few washes. It seems like the shedding has still diminished a little which is nice. It's funny because I was so worried about losing hair during chemo I did not think about my hair growing during chemo. I need to "get in touch with my roots" as my darker hair color and gray is coming in! Yikes! I am shocked to see that I have about 3/4" of NEW growth since I last dyed my hair (which was in February!). I am so excited that I not only have my hair, but it continues to grow during chemo! That's a good feeling given the alternative of being bald.
