Dec 22,2008 Ode To Long Hair

Oh what a week!! Woke up Thursday to pain in my head. I knew then that it was just about time. Sure enough I noticed more hair in the sink, and more in the shower. I was shedding! I was hoping that I could make it thru the holidays. But alas...by Sat it was coming out in my hand. I managed to get thru dinner with my family. But on Sunday it was impossible. I had to wear my wig. I had made an appointment with my "wig lady" to get the rest of it removed. I was sad. You know losing your hair is a tough thing. It was like the final step to admitting you are going thru cancer treatment. Everyone now will know. I will know every day when I get out of the shower. On the other hand...My head feels SO MUCH better! I had the worst headache all day long and was ready to have that offending head of hair GONE. And it shows that I am one more step closer to being HEALED.

Here's my last picture of my long hair: Maybe the last for a long time! Everyone seemed to really love my short hair! =0)










Though I have 3 great wigs!! So going to have fun with them. This one is my "Kelly Clarkson Wig!" LOL (according to Elizabeth I look like Kelly in this wig!) And last but not least...no wig. OK I'm not quite ready to share my lovely bald head. Its not quite bald. Maybe at some point I will. But here I am in my new "doorag." =0> My work out uniform! hehe!
