I know, I know. The "hair today, gone tomorrow " saying has been used by probably everyone who has lost their hair, but it made me laugh when I thought about it this morning while in the shower watching my hands fill with my hair. Now, I don't know if it is my hair just naturally falling out, or if it is my hair falling out because of chemo. Either way, the hair needs to stay put until my big head shaving fundraiser party on Friday!
OK, so you can tell that I am feeling a bit better today since you can tell I have my sense of humor back! So, to celebrate that, let's discuss losing my hair!
1. I just ran out of shampoo and conditioner! Kind of perfect timing since I won't have hair soon, but I still need to wash and condition my hair between now and Friday. Time to bust out all the "free" shampoo bottles from all the hotels we have stayed at over the years! Hopefully, that will work OK!
2. I need a new hairdryer. Again, my hairdryer is just about ready to quit on me. I was going to buy a new one a few months ago just to make sure I wouldn't be without one if my current one blew up on me one morning. I never did buy that new hairdryer...guess that was a good move on my part!
3. It takes me 20 minutes to dry my hair in the morning. Not having to dry my hair means I can sleep an extra 20 minutes in the morning! Enough said! Oh, wait...that 20 minutes will probably be spent fretting over how to tie my head scarf and how to draw on my eyebrows. Awesome, here I thought I would get some extra sleep out of all of this. Guess not.
4. Summertime = bikini line.... Probably TMI, but you all know me now, I am an open book! When they say you lose your hair, your LOSE your hair. Thank goodness it's summertime because that means I won't have to worry about that pesky bikini line! And no shaving my legs! Jackpot!
I am sure I will come up with some more topics regarding losing my hair but for now that is it since right now I have chemo brain and I am lucky if i can remember my own name!
