Hair, Redux: A Few Days Prior to TCH Cycle #5



2.5 weeks after TCH cycle #4

We had a great time at a wedding this weekend- I was even able to find a deco-style headband with some flare to wear with my dress! My mother very kindly took me shopping for more headbands, and we were even able to find some fabulous ones in leopard print (which normally I would never wear unless it is Halloween!). I think that the added flare helps to add a distractor to my very thin hair, and sends the message that I am not sick. 

Last week, in clinic, I was wearing a scarf, and my patient told me at the end of the visit that she would pray for me. While it was a nice sentiment, I hate being treated as if I am sickly—that is not the sort of attention that I want! I am still grateful to my friend who took one look at me in the scarf and said, “Take that off- it looks terrible!” That was exactly what I needed to hear to gain the courage to just walk around as I am! Perhaps I will wear the leopard print to see patients next week instead.
