SHIT i forgot to say this, so now i feel bad for making two posts about sick things in a row, but MY HAIR IS GROWING BACK bitchessss 😍
lmao, so before I started chemo, I had my hair cut to a crewcut type of style. So my hair was about 2 centimeters long. And then when it started falling out, I never shaved it to actually be bald. I just started shedding. All over my pillow. It was so annoying. So one night, I just pulled it all out (and no, it didn't hurt - imagine pulling a clump of hair from a husky dog during shedding season) and I dumped it on my bathroom floor (my mom cleaned it up the next day because I felt too sick lol). However there were a few strands that were, for whatever reason, fall-out resistant. I didn't pull those strands out (because pulling those out would've actually hurt), so I'm not technically bald. Do a google image search of "Eleanor bald Good Place" and you'll see what I mean lol. Anyway so I have a few strands of hair just like Eleanor's, which at this point are all about 5 centimeters long. But new hair is also growing, but it's just a stubble. So, check out this faaaabulous illustration of what my hair literally looks like in the mirror right now lmao:
Tumblr media
It looks JUST as dorkish as my drawing lmao. Makes me laugh every time.
Anyway lol, I hope you all were as intrigued about these hair anecdotes as I hoped you would be, because honestly I'm fascinated by how all of this has happened.
#lmao so i am relieved about this whole thing because it means my eyebrows are growing back!#the story of how my eyebrows fell out is weird#it didn't happen during chemo#they thinned out a *tiny* bit during chemo but they were still going strong#until two months AFTER i was DONE with chemo!#imagine me sitting here waiting for things to start growing back only for my eyebrows to fall OUT lol#they were just GONE one morning#(not the entire eyebrow fell out btw. just half of the eyebrow. the half closest to my nose. i call them the 'inside corners' lol)#i don't care about my hair but the inside corners of my eyebrows falling out was super unexpected at that point so it actually upset me#so i started drawing them back on lol#(I did that a lot when i used to cosplay so i'm pretty decent at it)#anyway i noticed a couple days ago that the inside corners are actually starting to grow back now!!!#so yay!!!#but lmfaooo it's not time to celebrate yet#because literally as of two days ago#the OUTSIDE corners of my eyebrows have disappeared#it happened the same exact way. one morning i woke up and they were just gonezo lol#(luckily if i had to choose i'd definitely prefer to keep the inside corners than the outside ones. so this isn't terrible. i'm okay lol)#i told this to my mom#and she was like 'oh so basically your eyebrows broke in half'#alskhg;lasdhglk#anyway so that was really interesting#it's almost like the old eyebrow hairs had to fall out for the new eyebrow hairs to start growing?#and they're doing it one half of an eyebrow at a time???#fucking wild man like#everyone knows chemo makes hair fall out#but nobody knows the absolutely wacko details#sick posting#personal
