It's raining hair...hallelujah ...oh, wait...I probably shouldn't be singing hallelujah on that one, but that is the song I thought of when i started to notice my hair rainimg down!
So, just over a week ago I buzzed my hair. On Monday, I went to work rockin' the buzz cut thinking it wouldn't be that big of deal. While my coworkers weren't bothered by it since they know what is going on, boy was I wrong about everyone else. Everyday I go walking around the capitol during my lunch hour. I went out without a hat or cover and people couldn't stop staring. I couldn't help but wonder what they were thinking. I ended up in tears by the time I got back to my office. It is even worse when i have to go to the capitol which is every day and sometimes several times a day. I feel like I need a sign that says in blinking lights "I am losing my hair because of chemo."
There are times when all I do is stare at the floor and only glance up once in a while so that I don't run in to anything. Then there are times when I stare everyone in the eyes and just dare them to look at me weird.
But, it is about to get worse! On Saturday, my hair started to really fall out. It was getting everywhere! Then today, my head started really hurting which means the hair is on its way out. I had read on a few cancer websites to have lint rollers handy to softly help ease the hair out since it hurts super bad to have it fall out. I thought it was weird, but boy does it work great!
I now have a few bald spots. Kind of funny looking actually! So, I am pretty sure I will be bald pretty soon. Awesome.
