I Love Harry the Hamster

Harry the Hamster

In other news, I've discerned a bit of baby fuzz sprouting on my head. I may stay intentionally bald for a while til the hair seems to come in fuller. I have 2 mini-treatments left, one yesterday and one next Wednesday but they carry no side effects other than killing my immune system, so no problem. My post chemo PET/CT came out totally clean.

On the other side, I've discovered a new, lingering side effect to go along with the neuropathy, spots on my hand, and other assorted minor annoyances whose appearance is laid off to "Chemo does a lot of weird things to you". I can't run. I can walk fine, all day if necessary, but if I try to run my legs don't seem to work right. I look like some sort of flat-footed duck if I try to run across the street as the light is changing and after a few steps my legs feel like they'll give out. Luckily, I needn't run in order to take pictures, which is what I love to do.

In further news, my divorce is finally final! Now I'll have to find a woman who isn't in to going out for a morning run...
