Another Doctor Visit

I don't know if you've ever watched someone who is dying but they get this rattle in their chest known as the 'death rattle'.

I'm convinced that I have it! Not really... but I ended up at the doctor's office again today. I've been sick for over a week and yesterday I got so sick that I couldn't even really get out of bed. I have a BAD sinus infection that has moved into my lungs. Every time I breathe in or out you can hear this rattle in my lungs. Too much mucus.

I tried Mucinex....who invented that stuff? It should state on the bottle that it's only for men or women who have the ability to 'hock a loogie' from way back in the back of their throats because if you don't have that ability all it does is make you feel like you're drowning in snot!

I tried, Nyquil, Dayquil, Sudafed, Claritin, Excedrin....nothing worked. So finally today I went to the doctor. By now I really do have an infection and need an antibiotic and a cough syrup with codeine in it...THANK YOU! I'm sure my husband thanks you too since I sound like a grizzly bear when I'm trying to sleep. I've woken MYSELF up with the horrible sounds coming out of me!

On a positive note....

I think my hair is starting to grow back in. I've been using Rogaine for women and my hair is thicker on the top. Its kinda funny because you only put 1 ml of stuff on your scalp and rub it in. I try to get it rubbed in before it drips down on my face but a couple of times I've had some beads of Rogaine go down onto my face. I picture looking like this some day.....





But I really think my hair is going to end up looking like this....


I'll just be glad when my hair doesn't look like an add for Frizz Ease!

Wigs

The time has come....it's time to purchase a wig. I realized this as I looked at pictures from this last weekend of me holding my new granddaughter. My own hair has turned into something that looks like ragged Barbie hair. It's course and straw-like. I haven't started using Rogaine yet but I will start today in hopes that it will help my hair to grow in.

With all the hair that I've lost and continue to lose, you would think that you'd see some re-growth, but alas it is not so. I do appear to be getting more white hair and they are growing in curly and wire-y. NOT nice!

So...thanks to www.taaz.com I was able to do a little makeover on myself and "try on" some different hair.

I can try to get something closer to my natural hair color and style but if I have to do this maybe I should do something fun and totally not me? What do you think?
