Title: My first haircut!!!!!!!
Post by: Kathy M on November 06, 2010, 06:55:14 am

Well, no one was there to take pictures or save locks of hair, but it was certainly a milestone for this gal!  My first trip to the salon since March, after the chemo hair loss program!!!

I still am nursing that dang wound on the back of my head, but according to my wound care specialist last week - he is very optimistic.  I am using a dressing that is made of seaweed and silver and it does seem to be making a difference.  At least I was able to remove the dressing for the haircut - thank goodness for my stylist who has navigated the landmine on my head several times pre-chemo!!!  I gave him a huge tip for going over and above the call of duty!!!

I have found 3-inch headbands in many different colors - hides and holds the wound dressing beautifully, yet proudly displays the comeback of my hair....quite the vision, I'll tell ya! 

Just had to share with my AN friends!!!  I know many of you can relate to hair issues, and we ALL know how important it is to celebrate all milestones big and small.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!!!

Kathy

Congratulations wonderful lady in making yet another milestone always in my thoughts and prayers... So sorry that you still have that wound but glad at least the seaweed and silver is helping I never heard of that... I use to work for a nursing home and we had an excellent woundcare nurse who did miracles.. She is no longer there I have to see if I could try to get in touch with her and ask her if she has any suggestions... Be well.

Best Wishes to you and your family always great to see your posts.

I'm so happy to hear about your haircut, Kathy! I follow the Caringbridge page for a little girl who broke her neck almost two years ago. She got a pressure wound on her bottom that would not heal. They are using honey on it and it is starting to heal.

You guys are just the best!  I'll have to see what I can do about the pictures - I'm not very tech-savy, but those kids of mine are amazing!   Have a wonderful week!!!

Here's to good hair days!  Or even bad hair days!  As long as there's hair - what's the difference!  Enjoy it!   ;)
