  • Laodicea No More...

    Today I gathered my courage and went for the chop - which perversely leaves my hair feeling much more like it did when it was uber long, perhaps because I usually wore it up.

    I would have loved to grow it one more time, but it wouldn't play ball - it is thinning rapidly (yet another long term side effect of treatment) and doesn't grow very fast, and I really could not be doing with the scarecrow look.

    So I did it - I found a photo I liked online and asked for something like it.  Even the hairdresser complimented me on going for a radical change of style, and he gave me a free tub of "product" for being a brave girl!!

    No way do I wish I'd done this sooner, but I am glad I plucked up the courage to do it today because it was about me taking control and doing what I wanted with my hair.

    The Laodicea reference - neither one thing nor the other... I can do long, I can do short... but in between is just "meh"!

  • Nature Photos Challenge - Day 7

    Glasgow Botanic Gardens in Feb 2016, one of my "recovery programme" walks after my major surgery in January.

    It feels quite fitting that I end this challenge with a photo close to home, and linked to another aspect of my 'AD' life.

    Yesterday I was discharged by the  gynae team - the end of three and a half years during which I saw 15 doctors at 4 hospitals, had 3 minor surgeries and 1 major surgery.  It seems that the final pathology showed nothing sinister, but did confirm that I had made the right choice to have "everything out".

    Now I simply plod on into my healthy future with the assurance from Dr H that "that's four kinds of cancer you can't get", which is surprisingly reassuring!!
