I cruised through the first two AC--then bloody Neulasta showed up and wrecked everything from day 4-7 for the last two rounds. Apart from that, I was fine. I had chemo on a Thursday, took Friday off and was initially back at work on Monday. Rounds 3 and 4 I took the whole week off.
I was a bit wobbly after the first round and would not have been comfortable driving home, but that was probably stress as much as anything else.
Wigs can be great fun, I've always had difficult hair and heaps of it so it was interesting to try different colours and styles. Blondes do have more fun, in my experience. You've timed it well having chemo in winter (well done you) I had my second chemo in Summer and it totally sucked from a headwear perspective, which was a shame as I'd gone for quantity over quality and bought a variety online in preparation of having a fine old time. Never mind, I wasn't working and was old enough to not stress about stomping around bald.
