Finally I have my hair back!

[RJ'S/beginning 5,357]

After 15 months of starting at a place of being completely bald because of my hair all falling out due to complications with my surgery. Today I washed my hair and guess what!!!!!!!!!!!!! I was able to gather my hair up on the top of my head and squeeze the excess Water out of it....And the water trickled down my neck...

It felt so strange to say the least....It felt so strange that I noticed it right away.....I am so happy I am not looking at my scalp any longer. It has all filled back in.....I was worried it would never really totally come back, but it did....

The only thing is it is wavy and not straight anymore...i can live with that guys.....oh happy day!!!!!!!!!!!

Revs hun..my hair is like yours. fine and really soft...it is back with a vengeance...yours will come too. the worrying about it not coming back was fruitless...When I got out of the hospital they actually offered me a hat that cancer patients wear....I cried like a baby.......

I loved my long blond hair....And it was gone. So I know your frustration. I know it will be in its full glory soon Revs.

Oh, what good news RJ! I am so happy for you. I was born with curly red hair, and I am hoping it will come back curly - although at 62, it will probably come in some shade of gray or white. That's Ok. I am coming up on three months post-op, so I am aware that it could start falling any time. Thanks for the encouragement. It is the feature I like most about this forum - that someone has already gone through some fearsome thing someone else has coming up, and can hold their hand through it.
Happy Happy Joy Joy for you.
