Fun with Hair Loss.

So that phone call that I missed yesterday from the BC Cancer Agency, when I thought, it's Thursday, I can call them tomorrow.

Ya, I should be keeping better track of my days, because it was Friday and they only keep office hours and are now closed for the weekend.

The call I missed?  My wig is in.

That was a little important detail.....because although I am attached to my hair, my hair is not attached to me.

When Kent and I were newly married and he was nearly blind (pre-Lasik surgery) I used to leave spiders on the wall of the shower.  So he'd get in and a little ball of my hair would be "somewhere" in the shower.  OK, I'll  be the first to admit that that game got old really quickly.

The fact is I lose hair all the time.

This morning while I was talking to Kent, I started getting an itchy scalp.  So I pulled on my hair, and literally got a hand full.  So, I sat in the bathroom, pulling my hair out....I filled the waste basket and decided that I would get in the shower and clean whatever hair I had left.

I left Kent spiders.  :)

hehehehe.  He'll never suspect that they aren't "real" spiders....but you know you have to have fun with spiders hair loss.

So I made art:

In honour of Melissa, I called it Jelly. Fish. (aka Julian Smith's song...)

I am realizing that people might think this is rather disgusting, but hey, I have to have some fun with this.

Shortly after all that, while I had the energy and I could handle the food smells, I tackled cleaning the fridge.

Kent comes around the corner--I have food and fridge parts all over the kitchen, he is smiling, but he is crying.

He had read my blog.  I am not sure what stirred such a reaction, he laughed and wiped his tears, he said I was a good writer.  I smiled.  

The fact is I sit here, I unload on to the computer screen, I spell check and I post.  I don't think all day of what I should post, this is just my life.

Even now, 4 hours after creating Jelly.  Fish.  I am still losing hair -- it's coming out by the hand fulls.  I should've gotten that wig yesterday.

Live and Learn.
