Hi everyone!
Day 16 came and went...and so did my hair...in clumps. Lots and lots.
First...my scalp itched...then I'd scratch and my hand would come away with a clump of hair. It was not as alarming as I thought. I think that the movies add significant drama to this step...but it WAS messy! And so...My friend Chastity came over with her daughter and we had bagels...and a good head shaving party complete with 'pump it up' music and a cleansing jump in the pool afterward. Race thinks I look like an old man. Josh likes it, but then confessed that he did NOT like the shorter hair I had last month to 'prep' for the shave. So, who knows the real truth.
I have about a 1/4 inch of hair left, which still comes out when I touch it...but it isn't nearly as messy, but the short hair are very itchy. Hopefully, I will be able to keep the stubble a long time, but I know that I will eventually get patchy, then have to shave off the remainder. Oh well.
I was going to attach a photo here, but it really is a shocking sight to me and I think I'll keep it to myself for a while longer. Race made me wear my wig around the house all last night. "Mama...please can you wear the wig...? I'm scared" I reassured him..."It's still mama, honey...I'm still here..."
Here's what I do know...they told it would fall out on day 16 and darnnit...wouldn't you know it that it did. I hate it when they're right!
My next round starts on Thursday. Please hope for an easy ride....!
