Shedding Season

Shedding season has officially begun. I took a shower this morning and two weeks to the day of my first chemo my hair began to fall out. It is definitely a gradual process but I feel like a dog because I am always scratching. Can you imagine what my house would look like if Darryl hadn't cut my hair? It would be like sheep shearing season around here. I do have to say that the new haircut has some definite benefits. When I go swimming with the kids I feel like a duck because the water just kind of rolls off of my head. I just realized there are three animal similes in this little update. I think I need to get out more.

    Hi Alyx, I am Brittany's cousin and she pointed me in the direction of your blog. I have to say that your positive spirit shines through in the smile on your face and the laughter in your writing. I am praying for you to be healed and to find the Lord's comfort in the journey you have ahead of you. Much love from me and my family.
