Toda has been a good day. Mum and I went to the wig salon and she got her wig. It is really nice and although it is slightly longer than her own she has decided not to have it cut. Mum is blond and I am dark but tonight I tried the wig on to let mum see how it looked on me. She thinks I really suited the blond hair BUT it's not about to happen. I'll stick with my dark hair with white highlights, the highlights are natural by the way!! On the way home mum told me she felt a lot better today as she had slept well and was happy with the wig. The only little niggle is that she went for a sleep this afternoon and when she got up she had a sore hip. She thinks she's maybe hurt it when she was coughing. The pain is going down her leg to her heel and she said it was sort of pins and needles in her heel. She's just said 'it can't be my cancer in my bum!' but I must admit I'm a panic merchant and was worrying about that myself. She's still really well at the moment and with her chemo starting on Monday I just hope it's only a pulled muscle or something.
