FINALLY I CAN REALLY SEE IT!

Ok I havent blogged here in a while. There hasnt really been anything big to report. I now know my band does not like white meat chicken or egg yolks from boiled eggs! I must take small bites and chew chew chew. Yeah i know this is bandster 101 stuff but it bears repeating, well to me anyway. I got some not so good news at the dermatologist today about my hair loss(not band related) and I cant relax my hair, wear pony tails or any type of weave, only wigs. ok this may seem stupid to some but i was literally crying leaving the doctors' office. my hair is such an important part of me to me. i dont care if that sounds shallow, it's how i feel. any how, after i talked to my mom and another friend i got over it and decided to not focus on that.

 

While at walmart i decided to pick up a pair of XL scrub pants to see how close i was to squeezing into them. well i got home and they fit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1 OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I CAN WEAR XL SCRUB BOTTOMS (and i'm a sista with a lotta junk in the trunk, so this is huge too me)!!!!! yeah me!!!!!

 

just wanted to share that with everyone!!!!!:D

great job on the scrubs and your progress - i'm sorry about your hair - you're not shallow - you are real - and any girl would be upset. You are so pretty - you will find a way to make it all work!:lol:

I was told the same thing. So I cut my hair very short, I was already ready wearing a natural. I also have 3 bald spots. But with the shampoo and oil the dermatologist gave me my hair is growing back. She also suggested shots and using rogaine. I ordered a free trial of keranique and will see what happens with that. Good luck it will all work out.

thanks again everyone.

I have already been diagnosed with hypothyroidism, and my levels are normal the last time they were checked about 2 months ago, but i think that may have something to do with it as well.
