Sleeping Beauty



I am a modern age Sleeping Beauty. I sleep all night, then awaken for a few hours then nap all afternoon, awaken for a few hours and then sleep all night again. My darling handsome prince keeps an eye on me, but he hasn't tried the kiss to wake me up either...so I think he is liking this arrangement. LOL!

Seriously, I am so very tired all the time. I will discuss this with my oncologist next Monday, but I suspect it is simply post-SCT (stem cell transplant) fatigue. It is quite common and can last months or years.

I really hate having to nap in the afternoons when the weather is so nice, but I can't help myself! :(

My friend Barbara reminded me of the times when I was tired and could not sleep, so I should be thankful that I can sleep now.

Sometimes I think my body is using all its energy to generate hair...LOL...see previous post!

WTF...What the Fuzz?


I am growing hair! Lots of it! It started off as blonde (or white - as my husband likes to say) very super fine fuzz. Then some darker hairs started to poke through. I think I am looking a little like Gollum...but Al says that's ridiculous. LOL!





In any event the hair is coming in quickly and I am thrilled. my eyelashes and eyebrows are sporting wee tiny little hairs as well. :)

I can no longer go out just sporting the bald head, since its a little nasty looking now, so I will have to resort to hats, kerchiefs and maybe even a wig! :(  At least until the hair is filled in enough to look like hair.
