Hair Today; Gone Tomorrow

 Had a pretty good day in terms of symptoms and meds and all the medical stuff.  Nothing too exciting to report there really (stay away nausea, my mouth feels like Elmer's glue, keep trying to eat/drink/pee/poop/other basic life functions).  

Today's big news is in the Lifestyle and Fashion Department.  My hair has not started falling out yet, but it seems likely that will begin over the next week.  Since my mom and girls are going to the beach for a bit, I wanted to deal with the Hair Issue before they left.  

Hunter has cut my hair since I was in college, probably?  Definitely did my wedding hair, so we've been together 15-20+ years now.  He agreed to come to the hospital after his last client and do a big giant chop chop ahead of the inevitable hair loss.  I thought it would be good for the girls to get to see it.  So, we had a hair party!  

I know, enough with the narrative.  You're here for the pics.

Yay Hunter!!





PROM POSE!


And a few bed selfies....




I don't care too much about the hair, but I can't say I don't care at all.  I mean, I do have two x chromosomes.  And my curls are kinda..... MY THING.  So, even though I think Hunter did an amazing awesome job; I'll be honest, it feels a little weird. I've never ever had hair even remotely this short ever in my life ever forever.   Right now I am not particularly interested in wigs.... I may play around a little with scarves or hats, but mostly I am just glad that when the mass shedding begins, it will only be a few inches of hair instead of my huge curly mop.  

Hope you enjoyed tonight's edition of Lifestyle and Fashion!  Till next time!

  7. What a great idea to have your girls with you while your hair was cut so you could talk through the upcoming changes. You look fantastic with that short cut! Striking. And when it’s gone, you will look just as beautiful since it radiates from within. 💕 Thank you for taking us on this journey with you.

  12. Chrissy, I’ve got some really cute Chemo hats just waiting for someone to borrow them! I’ve also got lots of scarves, and can show you ways to tie them. The thought of hair loss was scary to me but when it happened it wasn’t so bad. I kind of felt empowered! Instead of thinking “ why me” I thought “why not me “. “God has giving me this adventure for a reason, and I’m going to crush it! I know you will! You’ve got this! Let me know if you want a new head wardrobe!!!!

  21. Ruth just told me the other day how she wished Annie K was still here so she could paint your head after your hair fell out. I assured Ruth you would probably have gone for it ❤️. Love you friend - Katy

  24. You look gorgeous with that haircut! It's good to know that as you start to grow it back, you will look good with it short! I know we are coming up on summer, so you likely won't want anything super warm, though I hear that cancer patients often have cold heads, but I am on board for knitting whatever kind (and color) of hat you would like. I've got an enormous cabinet full of very lightweight and soft yarn in any color or combo you could possibly want, so please just let me know. Beanie, beret, or something fun and funky, and color - I'm ready!
