Nice Hair.....
Nice Hair.....

A couple of years ago when my hair returned after chemo it came back curly and looked kind of dingy. Donna decided to cheer me up by offering to dye my hair slightly blonde.


In a weak moment I agreed. We dyed it in the kitchen as it had the only sink with a sprayer. Waiting patiently for the dye to take, I was thinking how great it would be to be blonde again as I had been in my younger years. I was really anxious to see it.


As the timer went off, I eagerly place my head in the sink for a good rinse.


As Donna was rinsing my hair I heard her take a big, deep breath...my initial thought was maybe it came out platinum blonde which would have been okay. As she handed me a towel to dry my hair she was shaking her head and was trying not to laugh.


She said I think you need to go look in the mirror. As I walked by Mary (Donna's Mother) on my way to the bathroom, she said "oh my..bless your heart". You know when a southern woman says "bless your heart" that it is rarely good news.


I ran to the bathroom, removed the towel and saw my ORANGE hair..as orange as Chucky's. Donna said it is almost Halloween you could go trick or treating as Chucky. I declined and had her get the clippers to shave my head...so back to the chemo look...luckily I still kept all my hats....
