After the first week...

-
Today is one full week after I shaved my hair off.  I will admit I wasn't too concerned about my volunteer job or visiting our friends that weekend... I was concerned with school.  Yes, I am college but some folks do not grow up.  I still have no idea how they get through life but I digress...

My Tuesday night class I wore my scarf with my knitted slouchy beret.  No one really noticed a thing except those who are on my FB.  We talked about it during break but that's about it.  My Thursday night class, my teacher (who is on my fb) asked to see it and I whipped off my hat.  She loved it!  This woman has seen me through a lot in 2 other classes so I trust her with everything.  With the folks I sit around in that class, they were asking and they saw how much more comfy I am with it and no one felt pity towards me!  THANK YOU1  It is only hair and it may grow back... maybe not.  Really doesn't matter.

I am just happy I have friends (both peers and teachers) who accepted me as a person and not just for some hair.  I am not my hair!

OK here's the poop on the Dermi today.  I saw Dr. Henderson and she is a resident at HF.  I went to see a dermi because of the previous post of my sores on my scalp.   She looked me over and was very concerned with the one I have on top of my scalp.  It's deep and she thought it could turn into a cancerous problem.  I did tell her that is where my previous dermi did the punch biopsy.  Dr. H brought in another dr for a second opinion and that doctor stated that if that wound wasn't closed up by stitches and I have lupus, the wound might not have closed up and healed properly.  So in essence, it made Dr. H feel better that it was the area of the punch biopsy.   So today, as I had a hunch, I was injected with cortisone.  That is something I never will forget but she was a lot better than my previous dermi.  She was gentle and gave me some breaks.  I had injections done to the side areas and my crater on top.  The cortisone ...

Ah the life of a lupie!  So much fun! A few days ago, I left eye started to hurt and I thought it was just typical crappy weather problem.  That started Wednesday.  Long story short... it puffed out and I had a fever of 101. Not a pretty picture at all.  It was a lot worse than this.  Just hated  how I looked and felt, especially with the holidays coming around and the noise. Anywho, went to the family doctor today and she gave me antibiotics (augmentin) and boy those are HUGE pills!  Plus she recommended a saline flush so why not.  So now I'm home and just wanted to update my blog since I haven't in some time.  I have been writing in my journal of my own personal thoughts but I like to keep my medical stuff on here so I can refer back. Ok, I'm going to lay down and sleep this pain off.
