I got a wig today. My hair hasn't started to fall out yet but as Mike and I are over planners we thought we'd get ahead of it. The original place we had been told to go we found out last minute was now permanantly closed. So a quick google search landed us at Shangri La Hairstyles. Yup that's right. The front entrance of the store said "Wigs" and had 3-4 neon colored wigs in the window. Yikes. Upon entering the small shop there were hundreds of manikin heads with every wig hair color, cut and style you could possibly imagine. One might think this would be overwhelming, but as there are 100s to choose from there are also 100s to rule out. Angie is the shop owner and she could have not been more kind and helpful. She selected two wigs and the first one was well ummm...the right color? Think Charlie's Angels hair. I knew immediately it wasn't right. Mike was very good at holding back his laughter. The 2nd one was it. It is darker than my hair but not by a lot. It has highlights in it. So it kind of looks like I got my hair styled and colored. Angie showed me how to put it on and take care of it. It was a really nice experience. I feel more confident now that I have it when I start to lose my hair. Stay tuned for the 'great' reveal photos coming soon.
What I Know God is good My wig is made out of real human hair Daniel is heavy What I don't know What my WBC (white blood count) is. I spent most of Tuesday and half of yesterday checking on my WBC. Tuesday they were low and yesterday they were lower. I was almost admitted to the hospital because of this combined with the fevers. It is common for the body to react with fevers when your WBC is low. I never had an infection but had to go on anti-biotics to prevent one. So I will go back in tomorrow to get them checked again, if they rise then I can stop the antibiotic. That would be nice. What made today normal I drove carpool Praise I have been fever free for over 24 hours Thank you for your prayers for more energy, they are working Prayer Requests Prayers against infection/sickness Prayers for my WBC to rise The past 2 days I have been having trouble with digestion, please pray for healing. Also prayers for a better plan going forward to manage this side effect. Shout Out Mike for managing all my persciptions Julia R for lentil dinner and flowers Janelle W for doing our laundry Heather for care package Erin C for gift card to dinner Aloha Thank you all for praying for my specific prayer requests. I really really appreciate it and feel them being answered. Much aloha~Nikki
