New Hair?

It has been six weeks since my last chemo treatment and I was in hopes that my hair would be growing by now.  Unfortunately, I have just a tiny bit of fuzz and absolutely no eyelashes.  I am so glad that my hairdresser suggested that I get permanent makeup before I lost my hairs.

  

When I got my permanent makeup my timing could not have been worse because I got an appointment the day before my first chemo treatment.  I had my eyebrows and eyeliner done which caused my eyes to puff up and crust over at the same time as my first and most difficult chemo treatment where I was totally sick to my stomach and unable to get off the couch.  I even had to drive back and forth to American Falls all by myself.  I have been to AF since with my sister and a good friend for their makeup but I always end up going by myself for my own makeup.  Oh well, the price we pay for beauty!

A couple of weeks ago I was getting ready for church and decided to try the artificial eyelashes that my niece Gina gave to me.  I went through three pair of eyelashes with no luck whatsoever.  How are you supposed to glue the eyelashes onto your eyes without gluing your eye lids together? I think that I require eyelashes that are stick on only.  I seemed to have full eyelashes up to about eight weeks ago but then they starting really thinning out.  The last time I used mascara I had no eyelashes on my right eye and four or five on my left eye.  I had trimmed the last couple of eyelashes so that they didn't stand out too much but it did look quite silly.  I have no eyelashes now so I am saving money on mascara and hair products.  I started using Lilash to help my eyelashes grow six weeks ago but no luck so far.  I'm  not giving up yet!!!!!!

Today I went to ISU cosmetology because they have free wigs for cancer patients.  I tried on about 10 wigs and came home with 2 new looks.  Here is a picture of Steph and myself on our way to lunch today.  We are both sporting new looks!
