We did it!

There’s nothing like friends who would shave your head if you asked them to on short notice.   This includes those friends who would try like hell to change their impossible schedule…and alas, have to decline.  Today was the  day.

The infusion went without a hitch.  K drove, E came, S visited with treats.  It was wonderful…the love, company and support I mean.

I could pull pinches of hair out as of 2 days ago, but this morning it was a little easier to do.   I think it creeped some of my family out, actually.    I’m surprised it didn’t all come off in the shower.    As we drove from the cancer center, I knew it was the day.  K  had a bit more time, D was between gigs and accepted the invitation willingly.  E went on his bike and made trails in our woods…  Once it was over, I felt nothing but relief.  I walked to D’s house with some Baldy Pesto, and felt strong.  Anticipation gets me every time.   Now I get to adorn and wrap with beautiful colors.  I also think it feels cool when I rub my head.  AND I can finally look at the scar that’s been on top of my head since I was 8.   Simple pleasures.  Whodathunk?

It’s about 3 hours post infusion now, and I have a  headache.  I think the katz and I will take little a  nap under E’s loving and watchful guard.
