Hat Days Ahead

So the hair has been shaved off... It was getting messy to live with, falling all over the place. The fun part was to say, hey look at this and run my hand through my head and pull out a hand of hair... ha ha... totally weird. Then I called my hairdresser Kristen Woll who said she would shave my head for me and Don's too on the same evening and trim my wigs for me... Awesome! 

Wednesday night Don and I went to her home and she shaved it off.. Thankfully my noggin is round and not so ugly or bumpy... We are a pair now! Then chemo on Thursday morning, went well, was done by 2:30 p.m. and we went shopping for hats. We went to "The Next Step" by Mission Oaks (Good Samaritan) Hospitals. Wonderful store. Lovely ladies to help out with the trying on different styles and such. I spent my money there. I will be styling without the hair! 

This time I feel a little better, possibly because last time I had surgery the day before my first chemo, don't know for sure, but I'm thankful to Jesus for helping me cope here. I had few tears when I thought about trying on hats, but they were short lived and it was fun to cap my bald head!  See picture below. So my head isn't quite the shiny bald yet, but it should be in a few days or weeks, can't wait, I must say that having a prickly pear head isn't much fun either ha ha... 

So that is my blog today, not much but I want to thank all those who have helped me out with your prayers and following my blog, those who have volunteered to bring food and brought it! You are awesome too. Most of all I want to thank my Jesus who loves me and keeps me safe from all harm. He loves me so much. I know you know He loves you too. Blessings everyone... :-)
