So my hair was starting to fall out...this is a sample...GROSS, I know but this was just from a morning shake out prior to my morning shower...then in the shower...oh my gosh...it just got worse! So I begged my friends to shave my head....well, Kim (a.k.a. Deedaloos.com at Etsy.com) did the deed for me. What a friend!I love you kim!
And Thank You from the bottom of my hear for the
wonderful hats! My wool felt hair clips look
great on them! These pics were taken prior to the shaving...my favorite one is the brown one! My head will be covered, and warm all year because of you!
Monday morning, over a cup of coffee she did it...a few tears later...this is what i looked like...So I am not used to it at all...my hair is so much a part of my identity...it's my security blanket...some thing to toss or twist when i'm nervous...And Thank You from the bottom of my hear for the

dd#3 (2 years old), stroked my cheek and said "hai cut mama? pretty!"
dd#2 (6.5 years old) said..."it looks like you are wearing a pony tail...that's all...it'll grow back"
dd#1 (8 years old) said..."it looks UGLY! Put your hat back on"

...leave it to a child to say what I'm feeling! I'm good enough inside to carry off this hair style for a little while. But it's not who I am and I will grow it out when the cancer is all gone. I will be me again...a better me....a BIONIC me!
The bionic woman became a visual image for me as a symbol of strength during one of my MRI's. The noise it made, made me think of the opening theme song of the 1970's version of "The Bionic Woman". All I could think of while I was lying there was "we can rebuild her!". So if I end up with bionic boobs when all this is over...then nothing will be able to bring me down again!the baldness is creeping up from the bottom...and bald patches all over. ::sigh::

Hi Jodi,
ReplyDeleteI know this can't be an easy step for you. Paul hates it too but I'm sure it is 100x worse for a woman.
Be well and it will grow back! : )
