My First Haircut This was the clean-up after my first haircut. That's kind of pitiful! When I had my last chemo, over 3 and a half months ago, I was giddy for my hair to grow back. I didn't realize I was going to need a lot of patience for this process. Time to Trim Since my hair is hidden under wigs and scarves most of the time, I wasn't really paying attention. I didn't know a trim was needed, since I don't ever see the back of my head. Plus, I've worked for months to encourage these short little hairs. How dare I shorten them? But Don revealed the back of my neck with a cell phone pic. It was time. My Barber Don loves my hair. He reminds me daily to be appreciative. "Do you have any idea how excited I'd be if I woke up one morning and had as much hair as you!" I trusted him not to butcher me, because he adores my fuzzy head. He constantly pats it. He thinks my hair is fascinating. Each hair has a mind of its own and he likes to tell me exactly what every single hair is up to. Done Don trimmed the back and my sideburns. Wow! So fast and I didn't have to tip! At some point I'll have to find a hairdresser who can help me with these complicated hairs that are growing in. It's still a huge mystery what hair personality I'll end up with. My oncologist said he treated a white haired man, who ended up with brown hair after chemo. There are tons of people who go from straight to curly. We'll see.
The white hairs aren't exactly my favorite, but I do like how thick it's growing in. Soon, I'll be brave enough to sport my hair out in the world!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
