I know how you feel, kitty. It's just not right!
OH THE AGONY..
THE HUMANITY...
Last night I was watching a scary movie and laying on the sofa. I had my arm behind my head and switched arms and my scalp hurt!
I pushed on it and it hurt again.. an ache really. I sat up, ran my fingers through my hair pulling at the same time and VOILA! My hair..
*cries wildly*
Jill was asleep so I woke her and asked her to shave it. I cried and cried as I watched the pile grow on the table.
I don't boast about anything. Probably my artistic talent would be my most confident point but after that, my favorite thing about myself is my hair.
A local artist/ceramicist (whose name I can't recall just now) had a little shop on Michigan. We went in there one day and she looked at me and said (she was very eccentric) "Your hair is amazing... it's your crowning glory!".
So that phrase has always been with me.
I can take the pain, the aching bones, the crazy sweats, the fever/chills and all the poking and prodding the world could muster.. BUT MY HAIR??? WAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
It felt strange when it was all gone. Like someone peeled my skull back to reveal my brain. Wide open.
I have my head wrapped in a black/white bandana type scarf. It's pretty enough but I'm SOO PISSED!!
I don't like facing the world without my hair.
Why do I start every sentence with "I"? It's a bad habit.
*gnashes teeth*
Aw, man. I feel for you. Wish I could give you a hug.
ReplyDeleteThis is probably the wrong comment but I'd be tempted to get something tattooed on my head, knowing it will get covered up once the hair grows back.
... Or not. :-&
I've talked about it a bit :*
ReplyDeleteI want to get something like Dax from DS9 :P Markings.. wouldn't that be awesome??
Then later I can lie to people and tell them they're real and let them peek.
ILUFLO!
I'm so, so sorry! I want to hug you. too...and send you my hair...
ReplyDeleteWhat an awful feeling that must have been for you. I know it will grow back when all of this is over and it will be more beautiful than ever. You are amazing with or without hair. ;)
