Make Sure You Drink Your Water
on November 7, 2011 10:48 am
All –  

I jump on the band wagon and then I jump off as far as water is concerned.  

Let me tell you….I have the water bottle back in hand now.  


 
I have been dehydrated and hospitalized before.    I could feel the symptoms coming on.

After being hospitalized for dehydration, I don’t want to experience that again.
  

Anyway…   I could feel my mouth being dry.  

I had been straining when using the bathroom for quite sometime…..meaning a couple weeks.  

I noticed a couple other symptoms of dehydration

I thought this too shall pass.  

I was worried all day one particular day last week especially with one particular symptom I  noticed.  

I couldn’t take of work b/c it is madness and I have training. I thought about the kids and football practice and what should I do.  

I picked the kids up and went to the emergency room.   

I was lucky that I didn’t have to stay all night. 

Thank goodness!!
  

Bottom line….  

I was dehydrated.   

In all this, I am saying…  

Please drink your water!!!!  

No matter how far out you are…drinking water is very important.    

Have a great day all!

10 months - Hair is finally starting to grow back!!!!
on November 7, 2011 10:34 am
 All –  


I am so excited. 

My hair is finally starting to grow back and fill in. 
  

Prior to surgery, I already had fairly thin hair. I was able to pull my hair in a ponytail and not see my scalp. :)  

Post surgery I thought to myself….will I always have to wear a wig or a weave? Note: Post surgery I could pull my hair into a ponytail and see my scalp.  This was not good for me.   :(      

I had not permed my hair since September or even late August if I remember correctly. This is a really long time for me. 

I have being wearing wigs and I have worn a couple weaves (primarily lace fronts have been my hair of choice). 
  

I permed my hair yesterday and boy the hair is starting to fill in at the top and I am so excited.   

If you are worried about you hair, it will come back.  

I am so excited about that.  

Have a great day all!
