Silly Little Thing, But I'm So Excited!!!!
I know that this seems so trivial, but it has been such a good day for me today and I just wanted to share. I got my very first haircut since chemo!! The pic shows my new do and it is with exactly 1 years worth of growth. It was very hard to go this long, and there were some nasty stages, but I think I like it now. Its funny, I look in the mirror and am starting to look "normal" again, but I still feel pretty badly most days- my back hurts alot and I am just exhausted every minute of the day. Hopefully that will get better with time. -But it sure is nice to have a "real" haircut!!
Love, Kelly
