Head Shave & Chemo, Fun packed 2 days... not! Carpe Dium
.
My response to how my 1st treatment was? "Delightful"! So today, although Larry can't stay, I'm not dreading it at all. I'll be well taken care of by a very competent & caring team. My 'beautiful bag of goodies' will keep me nourished in mind, spirit & body!
As it turns out, my head shape is rather like a large ostrich egg waiting to be decorated.
Now yesterday! That was tough. The Justin Beeber hairdo trim was the least of it. It took Arunee 5.26 minutes to shave my head clean. She cried, I did not. Looking back at the video, I'm pleasantly surprised at my reactions/ responses throughout. I did feel nauseated for a time. Arunee is just the sweetest & caring person. I'm so blessed by her.
As for Larry! He was very brave when I bared my head when we got home. Nothing needs to be said. I had a twitch of a cry, but not really.
The scalp is tender, so I'm picky about what goes on it. Thanks to Marna's daughter's generous gift of 20 head wear pieces, I have many options. Beauty, as it turns out is not the priority. That entertained me with all the turbin wraps w/scarves, and I know will do again, but for today, comfort's the priority.
Just 'suck it up, buttercup' & get on with it!
Goff to Abbotsford now! Carpe Dium!
Bye for now. Thank you for your love. I love & appreciate you. XOXO 🌹
