Day Thirty Seven

I have noticed how I feel relates to what I am eating, or how much I am eating. Felt a little light headed today but as soon as I ate, felt so much better. I am eating a lot of fish which I don't usually like, but it's full of protein which the body needs to build. Chemo can change your tastes as well, my sense of smell at the moment is really acute, noticing things like the smell of coffee and chocolate more than ususal. Feeling a bit more tired at the moment but very happy, we have the long weekend now so I intend to sleep as much as possible. I dreamt last night that all my hair fell out when I washed it, it's obviously playing on my mind, and today my hair feels 'loose', it's the only way to describe it, as if a it's just going to fall out in one big go and then scuttle across the floor like a wild beastie! My new hair has arrived too, but I have not opened the package yet. Think I need to pluck up some more courage to do that, but I am going to make it my own, put curls in it and play with it until I am happy with it. Isn't it funny that it's the only thing about this entire fiasco that I am bothered about.
