Hirsute is good

The hairy kid is back! And bigger than life. (Well, we have sizing issues on the import and upload photo that I am not going to worry about. I will just write around it.) C'est moi 8 weeks, virtually to the day, after my last infusion. Hair return has been rapid since the poisoning stopped. Indeed, today I had my haircut for the first time since October. (The pic is pre-haircut by an hour or so.) And it felt good. For those interested in the minutia, not all my hair has returned everywhere. It seems to be selective at this time. My barberess suggested that short as it was my hair was curlier than in prior times. She also noted that it has not filled in some places as thickly as it once was--e.g., the beard. But the hairy part of life is essentially good.

Still dealing with neuropathy in my extremities. It is enough to occasionally awaken me. It may be my optimism but it is still possibly receding, however, very slowly. I am going out tonight to see how far I can go with Strum, Plunk, & Toot and in preparation have left my sneakers on all day because I fear that when off, I will not be able to get them back on. You may guess from the foregoing that my musical chops are improving and you would be correct. Still a long way to go, but the last time out, I lasted better than an hour. We'll see if I can get through the entire session tonight.

To help with the reshaping of my bod and contra the neuropathy I got on the exercycle yesterday for the first time in ages. I have nothing in my legs--zero, zip, nada. I did 10 minutes, when my usual workout on that thing is 30-35 min. But one result seemed to be fewer joint collapses (knees, hips) during the day thereafter. I will be back on that again tomorrow and pushing the time some more. For me, it is still the best aerobic workout I do, and has the added benefit now of un-weighting those joints that the neuropathy, and arthritis, and old age have left in bad shape. Later.
