If it weren't for the fact that I agreed to let my hair grow back in because Todd asked me to, I would be sitting here enjoying a bald head, free of irritation, inflammation, and all around discomfort because I can't stand how having hair on my head feels -- it's hot, itchy, and I'm too lazy to spend the time styling it when it does finally grow out enough to do anything with it.

I'm going to wait til after the holidays, then Todd and i will have the discussion again about taking it all off. If he wants me to wear a wig on our wedding day, then I'll do that for one day only, but right now I just wish it was all gone!!! I know he means well, but because Todd has never had to worry about waking up to find half of his hair gone and then suffer the discomfort associated with having it all grow back again, he will never fully understand how much I really do hate having hair on my head at this point in my life. I think my migraines have increased too because of allowing my hair to grow in -- the whole time I lived in Memphis, I was totally bald and I could count on one hand the number of migraines I had in the entire year and a half I was there. SInce I started letting my hair grow back, I have had double that number at least, including the one I had last night.

What do you think is the best way to approach this with Todd? Any and all suggestions would be welcome!!

Bogie,

I don't wear wigs right now (all of them being in a storage unit in Memphis, LOL). My migraines and scalp pain come directly from allowing my hair to grow in. We actually had a conversation about this last night. I asked him if it turned out that my migraines and head tenderness and pain were a direct result of my growing my hair back for him and he said without missing a beat "Cut it off." Matter of fact, he's going to cut my hair off for me this evening when I get home from work.
