Happy November!

Getting a little better every day. My hair continues to grow. It's not at all even. I get a laugh when I look at it because I have a teeny tiny Mohawk. My hair is longer on top in the middle of my head than the top sides.
My eczema is out of control. Prednisone didn't clear it up this time. I saw the dermatologist and she suggested some product changes. I go from $2 body wash to $4 bar of soap. When I get to using more shampoo, it'll be expensive too. For now, the samples she gave me will be plenty. So, why am I having this trouble? Dr. Anderson thinks one possibility is that my immune system came back with a vengeance after chemo. Another possibility is that I'm having trouble because my job is to work with the very things to which I am allergic. Bummer. How many people can honestly say they are allergic to their job?
I'm having shoulder pain. I'll go back to the orthopedic doctor soon.
Wow...this all sounds horrible. I'm actually feeling generally well.
Now I just need to come up with better ways to spend my non-work time.
My journey is coming to an end. I'm so grateful. You know how people sit around the table on Thanksgiving and tell what they're thankful for? Well, I'm thankful that I got through this. I'm thankful for all of the wonderful people I have in my life. People who saw to it that I got through this.
