Now on to the hair thing...again! My hair started falling out more about four days after my first big hair cut. I would take a shower and get so freaked out to wash my hair because it would just rub off. YUCK! On top of that it was making a mess! I am a clean freak and hair every where was driving me bonkers. Once again I had it shaved down to a buzz cut. Steve was so brave to shave it this time. That lasted a whole 48 hours until I had to use my own razor and spend an hour in the shower shaving the rest of it off. I am now completely bald! Don't you dare tell me I look good bald! My head is in desperate need of a tan to even itself out with my face shade. I am revealing my beautiful, untanned head, with NO make up on....at the end of this blog. So make fun of me all you want...but I am pulling the cancer card on you for this one...you will feel guilty afterwards!
After I shaved my head I put on some make up with the Jessica Simpson wig I received from my friend Angie. I LOVE it only because it is a new look. I already fooled a long time friend of mine, Mike Holm and his wife Emily. I was at HyVee on Saturday and they walked right past me and did not recognize me. I laughed the whole way home. I can get use to this! =)
My Jessica Simpson Wig with my new hat! Thanks Angie for the wig, Emily and Nicki for the hat! |
Olivia just got home from fishing with her dad! |
I go in on Thursday to meet with a neurologist for my right hand. My index and middle finger have been numb since my surgery in April so we are going to get to the root of the problem. Please pray it is only a temporary injury and my nerves will come back sooner the later. I WANT my right hand back!
I also start round 3 of chemo on Thursday. Hopefully I will only have 13 more rounds to go as I will find out if I have the HER2 receptor which will require more chemotherapy. Please pray I do NOT have the HER2 receptor.
Thank you to:
Bob and Sue Peterson for the Olive Garden gift card
Heather McQuillan, Heather Terry, Elizabeth Norris and Sara Recker for the Victoria's Secret Gift card
and Pete and Kaye Bataillon for the Papa Murphy's gift card!
Thank you to my cousin Leah, her husband chad, my aunt Linde and uncle Terry for setting up the cleaning crew. It is so nice to have one more thing off my plate.
Thank you to all our family and friends for your continued support, love and prayers. You make us stronger everyday.
YIKES! I need to tan my head! |

Emily, Thanks for the update! I love the Jessica Simpson wig! It looks great on you! I can get used to the "chemo look", but it is an adjustment! Like Cullen says, "It is the same beautiful face" and your hair will grow back with time! I've got those prayer requests written in my journal so you are covered! Love you, Aunt Patty

ReplyDeleteEmily, on a side note your face is tan:)
You ARE beautiful, Emily! I love the wig, too. We are praying for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteI am thinking of you today as you have your 3rd round of Chemo and visit the neurologist. I pray they can help you with your fingers! I always said God should have given Moms 8 arms like an octopus.
ReplyDeleteYour thank you card is so beautiful! Just love the pictures of your family!
Your new look is quite sexy--bigger boobs, the wig and cute hat! Should be a model for breast cancer! You inspire so many of us that take our health for granted. You are such a wonderful role model for your daughter, nieces and nephews!
Hugs and Prayers!
