Neupogen shot

Last night I gave myself my first Neopogen shot. This shot encourages the production of white blood cells so I'm more able to fight off infection. The nurse showed me how to do it last week with a saline syringe. It wasn't so bad. But of course it wasn't that easy at home. Well...it wasn't that bad either. I just hyped myself up. Trevor wants to give me the shot tonight b/c I usually take a shot pretty stinking easy.
So Neupogen can make my bones sore. I woke up feeling like a brick. It literally took me an hour and a half to finally get out of bed. And once I did I was fine. I'm very thankful for Lucius sleeping in this past week. And by sleep in, I mean 11-12!!! He's so thoughtful. So now that I'm up and dressed I feel that's about all I want to accomplish at this time, other than sucking down a smoothie and taking my medicine that's 2 hours past due. It feels weird to be so unmotivated and giving into the laziness. Today is suppose to be library/bagel/laundry day.

My hair...yup I'm talking about it again. It's terrible. It's been around the mid 60's here. So I need a hat when I go out. Short, thinning, hair is impossible to fix once you've had a hat on. I wore a pink wig this past weekend and felt pretty confident in it. I think I'm ready to be done worrying about covering my bald spots. If I shaved it off then I'd know what to expect.
Trevor starts Mo-vember this Friday. I'm thinking I should join in and shave too. Ultimately I wanted to see how long the majority of my hair would stay in place, but I think I'm done with that idea and I just want to be warm.

I've been having some pretty strong cravings with this round of chemo. And I've been eating pretty well. But I appear to be losing weight...or my pants are growing. Here's a problem everyone hopes to have but right now is not the time to have that mindset. I'm not suppose to lose weight b/c I need to keep up my strength. It's always something.
