A New Look And Another Transfusion


A lot of people lose all their hair during Chemo. I was fortunate to always have thick and healthy hair. So, although I have not lost my hair it has become so thin it looks unhealthy. :-( Anywhooo, I decided to start wearing a wig when I wanted that full body look, lol. The photo above is me of course but I am wearing my first wig! What do ya think?

I had to go into the hospital again on Monday of this week for another blood and platelette transfusion. My blood count dropped again. It was not as low as last time, but still it was way below the norm. I am home again as of today and feeling great. They kept me longer this time because I had a cold and they did not want to risk it turning into pneumonia.

Am heading down to the lakehouse tomorrow night for the holiday weekend. I have started my garden down there and I plan to work in it, take the boat out, and maybe even do some fishing.

Have a safe and happy holiday all!

Thank you for the update Dari. Of course, we're worried and pictures like this are so uplifting.

You look great, and I love your 'do. The great thing about wigs is you can change your hair to suit your mood. :)

Take care, and have a restful weekend.

Hey you are looking simply amazing and I think the wig suited you so well that it almost looks like your real hair.I think you should use this wig regularly.

I hope you had a wonderful weekend. I know I've not been around in a very long time - I was surprised at what I read when I paid my return visit.

I will keep you and your family in my prayers!

You are the vision of strength as far as I'm concerned and you're doing an amazing job.

Actually you don't look like wearing a wig, at first I thought you hair is already grow until i read the post.

Kristian Liebrand said...

Sometimes we see our celebrities I a different new look and after that we are shocked. They are totally transformed and sometimes they also look like common people. But this is their way to gain the attention of a lot many people.

Trucker Jake New Hampshire said...

looks like real hair to me - i cant tell its a wig. i am, however, a guy, so that might play a role :o
