Not scary odd, or anything, but I couldn't put my finger on what was different. It finally hit me just now as I was cleaning my glasses. My eyebrows are gone. It's bizarre! :D
I'm so used to having a bald head and having lost my eyelashes, but my eyebrows seemed to have remained unscathed. Alas, no more. Frankly, I do appreciate not having to shave my legs or underarms, but dang! I need to get one of those things they use on those home decorating shows.... um... where they use a stippling brush and it goes into the blank bits. Wow, I hate it when I can't think of a word. If you knew me well, I used to be akin to a walking Thesaurus. Chemo screws with your brain; not enough to be scary, so far, but enough to be annoying. ;)
STENCIL!
Gads.
Yeah, I need an eyebrow stencil. Okay, probably not. I'm just happy I remembered the word stencil. :P
Jane and Nancy made me a really cool layered salad today. I know, no uncooked veggies, but ... meh... I needed it... REALLY! It was mixed greens, then orzo, then tomatoes, more greens, croutons, chopped eggs, crab meat, and parmesan cheese. They made a garlic Caesar dressing for it, too. It was SO good. So, so, SO GOOD! And there is plenty for tomorrow. Oh, and today I had my last 4 Xeloda pills for this round, so I am happy as a clam. A whole week off from scarfing down chemo pills. Life is good. :)
And that's my story for today; good salad, no eyebrows, and a chemo week off.
Love and kisses and hugs to all!
Funny old thing where eyebrows help so much to define your face. i can just imagine you staring into the mirror wondering about it. I would be the same, not something you would notice right away i would think, but definitely strange. it is funny but i notice the eyebrow thing right off, even before the head, it just looks so out of place. i do not mean that in a bad way, just i really notice it. i am not saying this very well am i? you know what i mean though.

this is a bit of a funky post. i am tired, just came back from pulmo rehab and it just drains me. i feel good right away but then always want to come home and just take a nap.
Yes, back in the day, I loved rehab but it definitely took a toll on my stamina. Now, breathing takes a toll on my stamina! :D
ReplyDeleteBut, we plan to go out to lunch tomorrow. I think we'll hit Bellagio, the Mediterranean place by work. We'll see how I feel. I do love their food, though!
