So....I have started loosing my hair.  I noticed in the shower Thursday and yesterday that when I washed my hair, there was a lot of hair on my hands every time I rubbed my head and rinsed off my hands.  Then when I blow dryed my hair the bathroom was covered in hair.  Looking on the positive side of things, I did not loose my hair during my first set of chemo treatments last summer.  Still not thrilled about it now though.  They did say that the Gem was less likely to cause hair lose but I guess I drew the short straw.  Anyway, time to book an appointment with a wig and head covering place.  They have one here in the cancer lodge so I will try and get an appointment this week before I head home on Sat.

Kiarra and I had breakfast with a very nice couple yesterday.  They mentioned to us in the dining hall that when it was nice, they take their breaky up to the outside sitting area.  I thought that that sounded like a great idea so Kiarra and I also went up.  They asked us to join them and we did.  We had a great visit and conversation.  It was really nice to make a connection with folks we see each day that we are here.  I ended up getting a lot of sun and my face is now somewhat red.  Guess, I have to be more on the ball and get that sunscreen on before sitting outside for too long.  

Breaky was hard boiled eggs, bagel, and cream cheese and juice.  Lunch was soup du jour, hot beef sandwich, tossed salad and I also got cottage cheese and mini oranges.  I shared with Kiarra as she was now off the schedule for meals since she had to check out today.  

We watched the last two shows in the series we were watching this am/afternoon.  We then headed to Pacific Centre for a very short stop and then back to the lodge.  We rested here, I had a nap, and then headed off to the airport.  We had a snack at the food court and then Kiarra headed through security and once through, I headed back to the lodge.  Due to the timing I put in a request for the lodge to set a try aside for dinner (they will do that if you fill out a form).  


It was lasagne night.
