Eternal Hippies A Year Homemade and Beyond

So this is the week my hair is falling out, again. It's been two weeks since my last chemo treatment and I have another one next week. My scalp has been so sore, aching and now itching badly. Now my hair is releasing from my head. The rest of the hats I ordered came in. Actually it turned out that they are not hats, but small infinity head scarves. I'll try them, but I may have to sew them so no one sees my soon to be bald scalp. I'm going to go ahead and shave my head this weekend. I may need a chocolate chip cookie afterwards...Sigh. The garden is coming along nicely. Or we shall see when I get home. We are having some really bad storms today and I am afraid the seedlings might not make it. Peace to you for reading.

It has been a challenging week, hair-wise. All last week I chronicled my personal horror of it all. Saturday I got so tired of looking like a...well, I don't know but I hated it. So I took the clippers to what was left of my hair. It felt better, but I still couldn't stand the stubble. So yesterday I went to the hair salon, hoping they would shave my head. But they wouldn't, just trimmed up the buzz cut I gave myself. So I went home and shaved my own head. I had my daughter help me with the tricky parts around the ears and the back of my head. Today I am sporting one of the chemo caps I bought on Ebay. It's comfortable and stylish. I will probably get some more. Everyone here at work seem to be supportive and all have said how good I look. It will take time to get used to no hair. But at least the shedding is over and I can get ready for the next round of chemo. Peace to you!
