Dripping sweat

Our out of town time was productive and good treatment for cabin fever. The first day, Dale had more energy than we thought possible, however, the next days, he had to rest the majority of the time. Fortunately, he had a good book, which he finished. While it was warm the first day, we noticed that Dale actually had beads of sweat dripping off his baldness.

It may seem crazy, but we got excited since he had not done so since August of last year. Hair and sweat must be nonessentials for body existence. My explanation of such loss of body functions during chemotherapy: the body gets rid of as many nonessential functions it can to sustain life in order to deal with the killing effects chemo has on it. The body goes into survival mode. Since the last chemo was the last week of December, the hair and sweat are returning.
