It's hard to believe that we are already into the third month of 2010. I must admit that 2010 has proven to be a year of many challenges. Of course, with the hair, I am in the midst of the waiting game. I have now returned to my pre-transplant hairline (which is normal), and I am ridiculously frustrated. A watched pot never boils, but between the gash in the back of my head from the donor site and the hairline that appears to be receding even more, I am once again struggling with self esteem.
I have chosen the symbol of the butterfly to represent me during this time of transition, because they start off as something seemingly ugly but end up as something beautiful. Unfortunately, I feel like I am in my ugly stage. I am hoping this part of my life will pass quickly...
I understand how it feels! I just llo0st a LARGE amount of the front of my hair after having a baby and I feel so self conscious. It happened to my loose naps as well after I had my first child, and it took a while to return. Now that I have locks, it seems so much worse, because instead of seeing the hairs fall individually over time, I see 1 big lock fall out (now up to about 8 down) all on the temples... Ugh. I am trying to stay positive as well! I will try to think of the butterfly analogy, because its getting a little grim!
