Rocket Dog Molly

Hi guys!!! I just want to say…..I’m too sexy for my hair, too sexy for my hair!! Went shopping for hair yesterday (sounds really weird to say) but considering most everyone has never ever seen me with any to speak of anyway, it was actually kind of fun! I figure nobody is going to be making a wig that looks like what I had before chemo, so I can go whatever color or style I want since there is no hiding the fact that it is fake. It’s not like the transition will be subtle or anything. I tried on one that looks like Emmylou Harris’ silver-platinum – that was fun. Then there was one that made me look like Dana Carvey’s Garth from Wayne’s World (if I had been wearing black-rimmed glasses anyway – made me want to start singing Bohemian Rhapsody!). Was scary but fun! I found one almost right away that is lighter than my own hair (kind of honey blond highlighted affair) and is cropped short at the neck but has more length on top. I rather like it a lot. Rube kept staring at me with this “I have a brand new wife-like leer”. I was about ready to send him home with our friends down the road for the night. I decided between anesthesia brain and chemo brain, blonder was the way to go. To which of course, Brenna took immediate offense! Anyway, that’s pretty much about it for today. Am feeling good yesterday and today – usual energy level but I know it will only last about another day before it starts waning again. And then there is the anticipated bailing of the hair that I am told will start happening 2 or 3 days post this past chemo treatment. I keep wondering if it would be easier to shave it now rather than wait for the chunks to start falling. Or is it going to be more like a dried out Christmas tree that when you shake it all the needles fall off all at once. HMMMM. These are the kinds of things that go through my mind. Scary isn’t it!! Anyway, I hope all of you have a Merry Christmas (and I do NOT apologize if that isn’t P.C. – too bad!!
