Last week, I had another infection in my gums. Like really, another one? Because the first one wasn't enough? That is a thing of the past now. I got another round of antibiotics, and it's gone. Fortunately, it didn't really impact me much as I caught it earlier than the first one.
So what's new? Again, yes, once again, just like after my first treatment, I have been feeling "normal". By "normal" I mean back to how I felt before all of this started. It is such a great feeling. I know I missed feeling normal, and now that I have that back, I am ecstatic! I feel like a regular person, who can do whatever I need to do, don't need help, and don't get tired after a few minutes. It's honestly a huge relief. It is an amazing feeling!
What am I doing now that I am feeling normal? Not taking naps! Keeping up with housework, because as we all know, that's normal. It's the necessary evil. I have also worked on a scrapbook I am making specifically for this journey in my life. It's called "My Shitty Titty Story". I made the cover for it a few months or so ago and never had the energy to put into doing any more with it. Then, with this new found regular level of energy, I spent two full days working on it and have it finished. Wow! That even surprised me. (For those of you that have no idea, that is an incredibly short amount of time to get a scrapbook done). It is finished to date. As my journey is not yet over, I will be adding more pictures to it as time goes on and I get further into whatever is next. Radiation, surgeries, etc.
Oh and I have something else to share. 4 days ago, I noticed my head felt different. What do I mean? At some point every day, I rub my head. That may sound weird, as it does to me, but remember, I have no hair. I haven't had hair in 3.5 months now. It is a normal thing for me to touch my head at least at this point. Perhaps similar to a woman running her hands through her hair. I don't know. Anyways, I ask my sister to look at it. Does it look different? No, she says. Next day, same thing. And the following day, same thing. Still getting the same answer, and I swear I am not losing my mind, my head feels different. I finally get a close up in the mirror and guess what?!? My hair is growing back. WOW! It literally looks and feels like peach fuzz. Not what I was expecting to see. Now the mystery will be how it grows back. I can't wait to see!
So as uneventful, or eventful as my life is, that's all I've got for now. Every day is a new adventure, and it's been a great few weeks! I am optimistic that the weeks coming will be even better!
