Chemo #1 - the saga continues

I'm on day 6 of chemo and I sure wish I could go back to day one. It's not that I'm ultra sick or achy or anything, I just feel off. My beloved Diet Coke and Bud Light taste horrible, which I was sure would never happen to me! I am able to go to work and for the most part be productive - except during these lovely waves of dizziness I keep getting. Don't worry, that's from the stomach stuff they give me. Speaking of stomach stuff, I can't seem to get enough food in my mouth - it's a strange way to be. I feel completely bloated and full, but need to keep chewing all day long in order to feel semi-okay. Since this is just the first chemo, I'll probably be looking back on this week as a good one - ha ha! Enough complaining, though. I am trying to visualize the chemo as Ms. Pacman and she's eating all the icky cancer pellets. When she gets caught by Inky, Blinky, or Clyde, that's the side effects. I'll eventually get the high score and be worshipped by all, and okay, that's where the metaphor breaks off....

Getting my hair cut off this Thursday and all I can think about is the disastrous haircut Julia Roberts gets in Steel Magnolias. Please Lord, don't let me look like that! Anyway, Erika is no Truvy, so I'm sure it will be as hip as can be for the couple of weeks I'll actually have it.
