So, Carolyn was definitely right; I have not been drinking enough. We did in fact make it up to Richmond and were first in line for Dalton's doors' opening at 8 am. BUT our best laid plans to get my Neulasta shot and slip away back home were put on hold because ... I have not been drinking enough water. Ugh. My vitals indicated I needed more hydration, I was whisked back to the infusion room, and I had one hour of saline (while I napped). Poor Carolyn had to twiddle her thumbs while I docked us an extra hour at the hospital. Yikes! I am more than a little annoyed with myself. Lesson learned.
And as posted yesterday on Facebook, I took the bull by the horns and chopped off my hair last night. Carolyn finished the job with a shaver. Happy to say, the chemo is doing what it is supposed to be doing and I have full scalp patches on my head. There is still some fuzz but it should be gone soon. I suppose the biggest shock is the difference in my coloring. Going from darker hair to a white scalp is a change!

Sally came up from Virginia Beach and prepared us a yummy Pad Thai dinner! My taste buds seem to be responsive to strong tastes so it was a welcome and delicious meal. Before collapsing for the evening, I enjoyed time with my sisters featured by some amazing photos Sally had found of our family's early years on Lincoln Lane and Dad's post-college years. A very good way to end a fatiguing day.
