Shaving my head

Even with the buzz, my hair continued to fall out. I was using a sticky lint brush to take up the hairs that were falling out as was a recommended tip I'd found on one of the sites for people going through chemo. It worked for a while but then it was too much missing hair. The patchy bald spots were not me and I knew the day had come to shave it all off. 


I'd read about many methods for shaving it off but when the time came. I did it with a hot wash cloth, regular double edged ladies leg shaver and some more shaving cream I borrowed from my dad. When that ran out, and I couldn't see the back of my head any longer, Al happened to be there for once. He helped finish the back with his shaving cream while I sat on the edge of the bath tub worrying that he was going to cut me, gouge me or make me bleed. Horror stories of people having razor burn, skin rashes, cuts and all sorts of goriness after chemo head shaving had me on edge. Luckily, we made it. We did get some aloe vera gel which seemed to work and I continue to apply that.


cute?
sexy?
