It's been a while since I last wrote and a lot has happened really. Had a great Christmas, ate too much and laughed lots. I then spent two weeks camping in the sunny Hawkes Bay. During my two weeks away I had no Enar treatment, I'm not sure if it was helping slow down the hair loss or not but man did my hair loss have a major come back. Standing in a low pressure camp site shower covered in your own hair trying to rinse it off is a pretty depressing state of affairs and caused a few teary moments. I can definately say my hair loss is not stress related - I had an awesome holiday, very relaxing, the kids had a blast keeping themselves busy and I even read two books cover to cover.
I am now at the point I need to do something, I think my remaining hair needs to come off. I have talked to the family about getting a wig and they are all really supportive but I still don't feel quite ready. It seems such a big step. I would also love to get a Fredom wig but have noticed regrowth and while it is patchy and my hair is still falling out at alarming speed I would like to see what happens with it this new stuff.
I've looked into BeauBeau scarves but have found them a bit out of my budget (wish somewhere in NZ stocked them so I could try one first). I've got a job interview coming up so need to find something a little bit more professional than a hat. I work in early childhood so it also needs to be something that will stay on really well. I guess experiementing with different scarves and ways to wear them is my best bet - the shopping trip should be fun too.
Looking back on what I've just written it seems that I'm a bit woes me. I'm not. I'm not worried about being bald (I have a good head for it apparently, lol), my family seem accepting, and I feel I'm a confident enough person to deal with AA positively. I think the major thing for me at the moment is to cut it all off or not and then to wear a wig or not?
Anyways, that's my rant for today, better get going - shopping time I think.
