Today is a better day

I am doing much better today. It was a rough night and a kind of ok morning, but now as long as I don't bump my head I am ok.

I spent all of yesterday on the couch. We watched a movie, had dinner and then watched some more TV. I managed to get a few things done on the computer that I have wanted to do (man I love laptops) and then I just watched TV while waiting for the next dose of pain pills.

You know, it seems like such a silly thing. Going through all of this just to get some hair to grow back. I am still not convinced that it is/was the right thing to do, and in fact was in the middle of discussing this fact with the doctor when he went ahead and did it anyway. I know why he did it - alopecia is a huge blow to your self esteeme (I am lucky enough that I have ungodly thick heair to begin with, and most of the spots are able to be hidden by other hair) but most people, when given the choice would opt for no needles poking them repeaditly in the head, no matter what the outcome.

Today we got the xBox shipped off (needs fixed - something about a graphics card?) and then had lunch. I managed to get Marty into 7 stores today - a new record for him, I'm sure. We picked up some more fruit and vegetables, because apparently teenage boys can go through a 5 lb. bag of baby carrots and a 10 lb. bag of apples in 2 days. I also finally found the perfect serving platter - I have seriously been looking for one for 10 years. Ten stinking years, people. How very sad.

Anyway, I just wanted to let everyone know that I am feeling better. Not 100% but I'm getting there.
