No more hair

Here's the picture everyone has been waiting for. It's been this way for a week, and I am still almost shocked when I see myself. I wonder how long it takes to get used to? The mustache and goatee are much thinner now and will probably have to be shaved in the next week. I will get another chemo treatment on Thursday.
We were in KC over the weekend, and Ben had shaved his head! What an incredible thing to do as a show of support. Especially in the middle of winter. Thank you, Ben!
The good news is that the weather has warmed considerably. On Thursday we should be 90+ degrees warmer than last Thursday (it was -21).

To prepare for my hair loss, Vicki gave me a hair cut. I was ready to get it cut because it was so long it bugged me. This picture doesn't really show how long and thick my hair was.

Friday, February 4, post haircut. My hair was only a half inch long at the most.

After my last post, things didn't get too much better for a couple days. I felt lousy and had a lot of pain around my middle and up my back. I had a lot of trouble getting comfortable in bed and spent 1 night in my recliner with a heat pad on my back. I even missed part of a day of work on Monday.
After that things got much better. By Friday I was feeling good. On Saturday the weather was nice (haven't been able to say that since) and we spent 4 hours cleaning and organizing in our shed. I continued to feel good for the next week.
Took a second round of chemo on Feb 3, 2 days after the blizzard. Thank God for 4WD! I felt OK after the chemo until about 8 o'clock. Went to bed at 8:30 and felt OK on Friday for work. On Saturday I got up and felt like I had the flu. Felt rotten all day long. Better on Sunday, but still didn't want to do much. Thankfully I didn't have the pain I had the first round. Monday I was OK for work.
This morning my hair fell out, literally. As I rubbed my head under the shower, it just wouldn't stop falling out. I finally had to quit touching it so I could get out of the shower. Vicki used clippers to shave what was left as short as possible. We'll have pictures later.
