Left Chemo, Now "In Treatment"

Hi All,
Well, Catherine rented the entire first season of "In Treatment" last week and the three of us have been enjoying a marathon of episodes. We finished the first season tonight, so, between my "In Treatment" withdrawal and the feeling that I finished chemo and should be entitled to *anything* I want, I just ordered the second season from Amazon. That should arrive by the weekend and help get me though the last few weeks of recuperation.
I had my weekend of pain as predicted; yesterday was my hardest day of pain but the oxycodone kept me intact. As of today, for the first time since I started chemo, my body should get progressively stronger and healthier. Catherine and I sat for for a bit on the coach this afternoon, breathed, and watched the snow fly past the window. I had been waiting for that scene since August when we sat here in a heat wave looking at the green leaves on the trees outside trying to visualize winter. The snow today was really lovely, just as pretty as I imagined it four months ago. Prettier.
I believe I mentioned previously that after chemo started I lost my gray hair first, then brown, and then I was left with very thin light brown hair, the colour I had as a baby. I never lost that hair completely, and, in fact, it continued to grow. It has grown from a quarter inch to, well, long enough to stand up on end and make me look like an installation at the Ontario Science Centre. We will take the razor to it tomorrow. The next time we will need the razor, I hope to have a full head of thick hair (with colour and texture yet to be determined...chemo can change both of those). Maybe I'll get the Elvis hair I've always wanted?
I'm off to take my pain meds and head off to bed.
Much love,
Kip
