Hit hard

That last chemo was a real slammer. Not until 9 or 10 days after did I begin to feel somewhat back to normal. Until then I mostly dragged around the house feeling sorry for myself. Soooo unattractive.
Yesterday I went to a "Look Good, Feel Better" class sponsored by the American Cancer Society. It was about using makeup and head coverings to enhance your self image after chemo changes all that. Well, it was a fun and funny experience. Having never been one to use much makeup, I was a real newbie in the ranks. The eye shadow was a terrifying experience as was foundation!
Then, to top it off, I ended up with a wig. I find them (wigs) kind of creepy, but it was one of those times when you feel like you'll hurt someone's feelings if you turn them down. Once we were all dolled up, the lady sitting at the table next to me told me, "Well now we need to go out bar-hopping!" In addition to the free wig, we all left with bags filled with cosmetics, all donated by different manufacturers to this program. The American Cancer Society does well with the donations they receive. I applaud them.
So now it's all about platelet building until the next chemo. Protein and veges, hooray! And we have cool weather so gardening is possible. This year it's the triumph of pumpkins and peppers. Tomatoes got sick.
