Hair

My hair is still growing back nicely. I think it may even be getting some curl to it. It's still hard to tell what color it's going to be. It's red, but not as dark as it used to be. I hope that changes, I really liked my color before. I'm really ready to start going without my hats, I'm tired of them, but it's still a little cold sometimes to go without. I got a really nice complement on of my hats today though; a lady actually pulled over in her can while I was on my walk to ask me where I got it. It was one of the ones I made, so of course I felt all proud of myself. I'm still ready to be done with them though.

So while the hair on the top of my head fell out during chemo, I managed to keep most of my eyebrows and lashes. They thinned out a bit, but I still had them. Had them until yesterday that is. A few days ago I noticed that I had lost more eyelashes and then the next day more were gone. Yesterday morning I had four left (I counted) and by the end of the day they were all gone. I have no idea why they waited until five weeks after chemo ended to fall out but that's what they did. I've gotten myself some very nice false lashes but I'm also getting used to going without. I only have a few eyebrows left now too. I'm hoping both will grow back quickly and maybe they'll even be thicker and fuller than they were...a girl can dream can't she?

My radiation test run is in the morning. I'm off to get a good sleep.

Peace
