I thought we were going to have a group hair shaving party, but instead we did it individually.
I needed a quiet restful day to catch up on my sleep and get through the majority of my balance and stretching exercises. I’m really wobbly. I drop things constantly and I’m incredibly fatigued. I did get two cards from my mom today! That was amazing. I never expected mail!!!
Irinna volunteered to shave my head for me. We recruited Kellie’s Aunt Rosemary to photo the event.
Irinna gives me a great deal of support, teaches me Russian, tells me stories, gives me comfort and is always someone I can count on to help me.
My first shave ….EVER!
Ok. This is not a pretty one!
and she managed to make it fun!
I had too much hair!
Almost done : )
Just a big old pile of red.
that’s the new me!
