I havenβt forgotten about you!
Hey guys!
Sorry for taking so long to write a blog, *9 days to be exact* I just havenβt had much too say.
With that being said, Iβm on the way up! My numbers are climbing up all on their own without transfusions, which is awesome!
Now it might sound like Iβm getting my hopes up, and I kind of am. They figure by the end of the week Iβll be undergoing another bone marrow aspiration to tell if Iβm in remission again or not.Β
Given it IS in remission, I GET TO GO HOME! I am so excited for that, if ya couldnβt tell. It would only be for a week or so, and then I come back in for a round of consolidation chemotherapy *to make sure it stays in remission so I can get to Ottawa to get my transplant*.
Now, story time!
The other day a couple nurses came to me and asked me if it would be okay if another young girl on the floor came to talk to me, I of course said for sure! Sadly she hasnβt come to talk to me, and it breaks my heart because sheβs in the room right next to me. Her bathroom matches up to mine, and sometimes when Iβm in mine, I know sheβs in hers and sheβs just crying her heart out. I heard her screaming that her hair was starting to fall out and I just wish there was something I could do. I wish sheβd come talk before I go home. I know every person, female or not take losing hair differently.Β
I really didnβt mind the first time, it was awesome. It was summer time and it was so damn hot out, but without hair was so much cooler.
This time, it doesnβt bother me to say bother me that itβs gone, Iβm more so bothered with the stubble thatβs still there. It makes it look a tad patchy and thatβs what bothers me. Soon enough though it will all be gone, and I know that.
I have a lot of head gear to wear but right now this hat from my Aunt and Uncle is my absolute favourite. Itβs not too warm, but my headβs not cold. Iβm really looking forward to getting a few more slouchy beanies simply because I like to change it up!
Now that Iβve ranted and raved for a little while, I just want you all to know Iβm doing well. Iβm always going to smile because I find thatβs the first thing people see. Thereβs not one person I wonβt smile at simply because maybe that small gesture of smiling at someone can make their day, and in here, sometimes thatβs all they need.
