Good Morning All-
Well I finally got some much needed sleep. After a great visit with my cousin Courtney who works at the hospital, I dozed off for a good 6 solid hours! Unfortunately when I woke up I felt like I had been run over by a freight train. Wow, that Melphalan is some powerful stuff!! I guess this means it is doing its job. So far I am feeling completely wiped from any energy I might have and of course I have somee nausea. The nurses are great here and keep giving me nausea meds but I haven't felt too much relief yet. I woke up and found a lot of hair on my pillow. So I guess I'll be saying goodbye to what little hair I have on my head. Yesterday my scalp felt like I had a pin cushion and pins and needles were being poked into it. After my shower whenever I touched my head the hair just fell off like a shedding dog. I am glad I buzzed it when I did I think it would have been that much more difficult to watch big clumps fall out. Still it is hard to believe that in a few days I will be completely bald. Of course, no one is really making much of a fashion statement here in the "fish bowls".
Well, I am going to try to get a little rest now. Today is day 2 of treatment. Thanks for all your love and support.
Love
Jeanie
