I officially have no immune system right now. All of my counts have bottomed out. This was expected to happen. I will be given blood and platelet infusions until Ron's bone marrow en-graphs with mine. Hopefully that will take place within the next week. It has left me feeling extremely week. It has been very hard for me to speak do to mouth sores which is another evil gift from chemo.
On a more positive note, all my daughters along with Ken and Cindy came up here on Wed the 23rd for a hair cutting party before I was shaved. I wanted this to a fun experience and one filled with love and laughter. There was no reason to be sad and look back on this day as a bad memory. It was everything I wanted. Everyone took a turn giving me a new hairstyle. At one point I had a mullet and a dumb and dumber haircut. It was pretty funny. Then Ken Shaved my head and it was over. I am glad to say that I don't have weird shaped head, thank goodness.
I was combing my hair Wednesday morning when I noticed it was coming out. Isn't it ironic just hours later I was given a picture of all my friends and neighbors with there kind and supportive words. My dear friends you will never fully understand what that did for me. I felt encouraged and there was nothing that I couldn't do.
