The hair's gone.
Barber Andy came by to shave for me. While it wasnt easy for me, I am sure it wasnt easy for him as well. I was crying while he shaved. It took a lot of guts to do it. Thank you so much. I am very happy that one of my closest friends did the task.
Andy and my mum were looking out for 4 digits on my scalp to buy lottery! Hey!
Jen and Gin came to cheer for me. They have found a new way to say hi, by rubbing my head...
I feel very ugly in my new do, but I know I must do it. My hair was falling all over the place and I didnt want to go through the trauma of seeing it fall. Anyway, how attractive can I look while going through chemo. The higher Morphine dosage makes me sleep all the time, therefore my face is perpetually swollen.
The little hairs left on my head have started to drop too. Therefore the "white" areas are growing bigger. Its like a globe with the continents getting smaller by the day.
It feels really weird being bald. I feel like I'm wearing a hat all the time. Its chilly when I dont cover up.
The good thing about this is that shampooing takes a couple of seconds and it dries almost instantly. Styling takes no effort. :)
I will be warded from tomorrow for my next chemo. I will be there for about 4 days. Wish me luck.
