Well, I think I have finally felt like I was on vacation because I have not updated this blog!! It feels more like a vacation when all of you are off from school too!
Yesterday was my 2nd round of chemo. All went well, dear friends were with me, and honestly life is good. Just mixed in it all I have to deal with this "new thing".
Alright... so last week I was getting some hair on my shoulders, more and more in the shower, and plenty on my pillow. After about 3 days I was pulling out HANDFULS!!!! It was driving me crazy! It was everywhere. So I jumped in. I had a friend start cutting....
What fun we had though (Sorry Mr. Whiteford, the idea of fundraising off of shaving my head is over -- of course this had to happen during break!!) and took it off in stages. Of course I had to take pictures... I'll see if I can somehow post them because they are pretty fun.
What I found out?? Hair really helps keep your head warm. I no longer need a big glob of shampoo when I take a shower. Wigs look pretty hysterical on me. There is a wide variety of hats out there. I have a really nice head, no scars, good shape, awfully white! In those 'get to know you' games where they make you answer the question... "You'll never believe it but I...." I will now be able to respond with "I have had a Mohawk!" (now those are some good photos!) Change can be a very good thing. What you can really believe at one moment (loosing my hair will be so awful, can I bare it?) can completely change with time (when will I ever give myself the opportunity to see what it is like to be bald again?) So much of how I feel and look, really comes from inside my head, not on top of it!
I hope you are all enjoying your break, I look forward to seeing you soon!!
(Note: I figured out how to post photos and there are a couple of them at the bottom of the left column!!)
