Nose hair

The weather was warm enough yesterday that Sam and I were able to walk around the lake. We also met up with Dennis for lunch. He was heading back down to NC after spending Christmas was his mom in Harrisburg. Have fun in Miami, Dennis!

It turns out that Mom got whatever William had. Sam and I are OK though, no sharing food, towels, etc. I had some sniffles and slight headache last night, but I'm definitely a lot better off than Mom and William have been.

I think that I now have more hair on top of my nose than inside. The chemo made my internal nose hairs fall out, making my nose drip unexpectedly sometimes. The other day when there was a warm breeze, I was able to feel the wind with my nose! It seems that skipping taxotere that one time allowed my facial hair to grow back. The unfortunate part is that most likely my ovaries are not making estrogen now so some of the hair that grew back is let's say a bit darker than before. Good news--the hair should fall out again; Bad news--I'll probably need to remove them again after chemo.
