What is normal?
Interesting conversations this weekend with various family. There are times when I feel so close to normal and we are doing normal, non-chemo things that you actually almost forget that we are in the middle of the battle. Then I look in the mirror and it is really clear that I am not that normal. Even Christine said this weekend - that I sound normal and we talk about everything but cancer and it seems like it did in December. And then someone asks and she is like - oh yeah - we are doing that cancer thing. But it is so cool to be normal and I am having more normal time this treatment so that is a good thing. But there are those not so gentle reminders. Some new odd things - I have no more hair in my nostrils. But you begin to understand their function as my nose just randomly drips down my face. My eyebrows have thinned considerable and will probably not exist soon. More random - I did not have a great sense of smell before and now it is very acute. That is not real...
