Wacky Friday

It all began with those hairs on the panties. Hair on underwear…? Shouldn’t be anywhere! Then I patted my head. And I said, “Oh, man!” And that’s how Wacky Friday began. I took a shower and I said “Bull!” more hair was falling and I caught a handful. I went for some laps and I asked “more?”: hair was floating down the swimming pool floor! In the hot tub relaxing, it almost felt like hair-waxing. Back in the shower, I began to shampoo. The foam was not white: it had a red-hairy-hue. I told the Y lady: ‘something is wrong, I’m losing my hair!’ Embarassed she laughed and said “thanks for the share”! Driving back home I called Lauren, the hairdresser. She said, “don’t you worry a bit, you might look beautiful with lesser.” Chemo textbooks say that starting week 3 you’ll no longer need hairspray. I went in my house, rubbed my head a bit longer. People say I’ll sure grow stronger. I’ll keep watching hair fall, trying hard not to bawl. Wacky Friday has just begun, soon enough it’ll be done. I’ll be bald and I’ll be bold and I will even get rid of that cancer of old!

This embarassing and pathetic imitation of Dr. Seuss’s Wacky Wednesday, to let you know that, by the textbook, I started losing my hair this morning, first day of week 3, pubic hair first. Can’t wait to see what I look like bald and hairless.

    At this point, you may want to consider classifying this as an adults only blog. And do they have a “read only after meals” category, too? If I started blogging about my pubes, I’d probably have law enforcement people at my door within days. But you cancer people do it and get plaudits. That Cancer Card thing just ain’t fair.

    Out of curiosity, did you ever stop to think those might be Bruce’s hairs in your panties?

    Like, he ‘ran out of underwear’ one day and…

    Glad you can now post, Marg! Yes, no shaving no waxing is definitely a plus of chemo!
