Positive thoughts on hair loss

At 4 months post-op, my hair has been falling out by the handfull. I got this in an e-mail, and it seemed so perfect for us post-ops that I had to share it! There was once a young woman who woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she only had three hairs left on her head. "Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today." And she did, and she had a wonderful day. The next day, she woke up, looked in the mirror, and noticed that she only had two hairs left on her head. "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today," she said. She did, and she had a wonderful day. The next day, she woke up and noticed that she only had one hair on her head. "I guess I will wear my hair in a ponytail today," she thought. She put her hair up in a ponytail, and had a great day. The next morning, she woke up and saw that there wasn't a single hair left on her head. "Hurray!" she exclaimed. "I don't have to fix my hair today!" Attitude is everything! Keep positive!

I love it! Thanks Melanie!

That is just what I need today Thanks!

Great post!

Thanks for sharing this! I really needed that! Last night was the first time I got really upset about the hairloss. Kay

I loved this!! It was so timely as I, too, have been losing handfuls for the last couple of weeks. Thankfully, I have quite a bit of hair, but it's a little embarrasing when people come up to me and pull off all this hair from the back of my shirt! Lisa S. 227/161/140

Mel: I LOVE this post!! :::She says as she runs her hands through her hair and 100 strands come out::: You could not have posted this at a better time! Thanks! Love and hugs, Jersey
