hair

Also yesterday my scalp started feeling very bizarre. Like when you wake up with a spot feeling as if it's bent the wrong way, except my entire head felt that way. And it's definitely starting to come out. I've had super short hair for 10 years, and the thought of being bald doesn't bother me. But when I'm holding a clump of hair after running my hand across my head, it is unnerving and makes me feel like I'm falling apart. On the other hand, it is visual proof that the clear liquid dripping from the IV bag is, in fact, something that is eliminating cancer cells. In the afternoon I met with Dawn in the city to learn about meditation and guided imagery (and snack on chocolate and green juice!) While I was there I went to an incredible hat shop called Alternative Design Studio Hats
and bought 3 hats.

  1. A.D.S. Hats is great, that's where I get my hats, including the one that I wore the other day. Are you going to go for pre-emptive baldness and just shave it all the way?

  2. After this morning's shower about 1/2 of my hair was gone, so now I'm sporting the mangy mutt look. Not sure if I'll shave, it seems that most of it will be gone within the next couple of days.

  3. Well Jan Stuessy always insisted that the hottest look that a woman could have was a shiny, oiled bald head.

  4. Rachel, my next door neighbor just appeared today with a slightly fuzzy head....breast cancer, She decided to have a wig made with long straight hair the color of her four year old daughter. She said she may keep her hair short and keep using the wig.
