Back to Normal???

In the last few days I have been trying my best to get "back to normal". This seems a little strange because I'm not really sure what normal is anymore. I have been going out with friends most evenings trying to do the same things I always did. I even played floor hockey this past weekend...I guess this was against doctors orders but I feel completely normal, same energy and it felt so amazing to run! I think while I am still able I need to keep doing these things...help keep myself sane :)

So what is not normal is my hair. I knew that it would start to fall out between 2-4 weeks after my first treatment. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks. So last Thursday Wes and I shaved one another's heads. I thought it would be really scary but it was actually kinda fun. I don't think I ever cut my hair when I was a little kid, but that is how it felt. I took out the scissors and just cut off a big chunk and sat there looking at it. I didn't want to look in the mirror until it was all done. When I finally looked I was actually pleasantly surprised...it didn't look horrible, and I've actually got a few compliments about it. So for now I have about 1 cm of hair all over my head, though I have already noticed a few extra hairs falling out in the shower every morning. Oh well it's only hair it will grow back :)

This afternoon I have to drive my mom and brother to the airport. Mom has been here for almost 3 weeks now and it really is time for her to head home. It will probably be hard for her to leave as she has been so amazing and strong for me. But I think we both know that it is time. I need to try to get back to "normal" and so does she.
