Ever the optimist, I’ve found another bright spot about going through chemo — I’ve gained so much time back. One example: I sat down yesterday to read “In Style” magazine. this is usually a 45 — 90 minute activity, as I read through all the articles on shampoo, conditioner, hair gel, hair brushes, hair mousse, hair color, blow dryers, curling irons, flat irons, hair spray, and “how to make your hair curly, straight, bobbed, sexy, short, long, tussled or professional”. In addition to complete disinterest in all things related to hair, I’m not buying any new clothes this season (combination of the fact that all our money went to the plastic surgeon and that I have no clue what I’ll look like when I’m done with this plastic surgery journey).
I made it through the magazine in 12 minutes. very efficient ………… although I’m not going to think about the cost per minute of reading my once favorite magazine……………….

I guess there aren’t any magazines called “You and your bald head”, or “how to tame peach fuzz”. Soon enough, my dear, you’ll be back at the salon! Savor the minutes now!
