Brenda's Memorable Memorial Day - 2003 |
|
|
This is me holding my hair and the drill before I realized how much I had actually had ripped from my head!! |
This is right after the unfortunate incident. |
This is Tom and I finishing up the job we started. |
This is Dave Redhead in a bald spot comparison. I win!! | This is the mirror image, Front to Back. Personally, I like me better from the front now, but boy, am I a recognizable hind profile now!!! |
And this is me doing what I like to do best. Boy... it's kind of chilly in here! Can someone shut the door? :-) Gotta laugh or your might cry! |
The worst part is not the
pain or the humiliation, it's the fact that the Dr. has only given me a
50/50 chance of my hair growing back in because it was torn out by the
roots. That's a real bummer, but I am optimistic. After all, obviously I
have pretty good luck!

January 17, 2004 - My Ducks Butt... according to Tom | January 17, 2004-Curly Q! |
Frequently Asked Questions:
Did it hurt when you did it? Answer: Is water wet? It throbbed and burned for about 6 hours. Then it was just sore for about a week or two. Now, it's just like any bald head. Only hurts if it gets a sunburn.
Will it grow back? Yes, some of it will. I will likely end up with about 1/3 to 1/2 of it over the next 2-6 years. Just like a baby trying to grow hair only some roots were torn out and caused damage to some follicles, so I will never likely have what I had before.
Does it Itch? Yes, it itched a great deal for the first few weeks but now I keep it moisturized daily and it itches much less. It really tickles in a breeze though now that all those little hairs are wiggling around up there!
Will it get thicker in the cold weather? Only if I am part horse... Tom seems to think it will so perhaps it may! (Looks like he is right! The colder it gets, the faster it grows!!) Yippee!!!
