 You know what's great about being bald? 

When I got in the bathtub I didn't worry about getting the back of my hair wet. I could scoot down as low as I wanted and not worry about any sort of hair drying afterward. It was a really awesome feeling to just soak in the bathtub- not a care in the world. 😆 

I'm not one of those people that can wash their hair and leave the house with a wet head. If I did that my hair would be crazy scary. I have a little bit of a curl/wave in my hair and if I don't blow dry it straight it's a big old mess. Now I wash my hair.....well my head and then I get out of the shower and I'm good to go. Well, almost. 

When I snuggle Ryan in bed he doesn't get a face full of hair. He can just snuggle up to my bald head. Hahahaha 

I've heard that hair can come in differently when it grows back in. I could have like super curly hair, like my mom. It could grow in all gray. 😕 Yikes! Or maybe even white! Or purple. Okay not purple but the gray and curly could be a possibility. 

I get cold easily. If I don't walk around with a beanie on, my bald head gets cold and makes my whole body cold. Thankfully, Ryan's aunt has a cute Etsy store where she makes beanies and she made some for me.



And they are cute and warm and very well made. You can just tell they're good quality. I love them. If you want some good beanies check it out  https://www.etsy.com/shop/MadhatterknitsCo?section_id=11172365


Yesterday, Courtney had a friend over. I was painting their nails, per Courtney's request, and her friend says to me, "Windsey? Why are you wearing that?" I kinda laughed like, "Why am I wearing what? A beanie? Or the flower on my beanie?..... I don't have any hair. I'm bald. " Courtney gets all excited like, "Show her Mom. Show her." I was able to distract them with picking out nail polish colors so I didn't freak the poor child out. 😀 But it was pretty funny.

surgery recap (graphic pictures)

 Alright. I've had questions about this last surgery, and I'm going to just explain what happened so hopefully it makes more sense and answers the questions.  Back in June I had my double mastectomy. They took out all of my breast tissue. My chest was flat. I've seen mastectomy pictures and it's almost concave where the breast tissue was. That would have been the case for me except I chose to do reconstruction. So after taking away all the tissue they placed the tissue expanders. They're like implants but they have a valve on them that they fill with saline. I went to the plastic surgeon's office every week to have my tissue stretched. They needed to make a pocket for where the implant would eventually be. I essentially chose my breast size without having to wake up from surgery and be like, "Oh I wish I was bigger. Oh I wish I was smaller." I went in one week and they put 50 cc's of saline in. We waited a week for my skin/tissue to stretch and the...

How are you?

November 9, 2023. I get asked all the time, "How are you doing?" It seems like it should be an easy question to answer, yet I hesitate. I can't quite say, "I'm doing great. Everything is going good." Why? Why can't I just say that?  I SHOULD be able to say that. I'm cancer free, and I'm not sick anymore, yet I don't feel like things are great. I know when they're asking me, how are you, they're referring to how I'm doing cancer wise.

 Remember how I was having surgery today? Remember how I was going to get my port taken out and these uncomfortable plastic expanders? Ya well not happening today. Whoever filled out my pre authorization form put the wrong facility. They wrote down American Fork hospital which is great cuz my insurance covers that hospital. But my surgeon isn’t at American fork today, he’s at a surgical center in Provo who my insurance does not cover! I should clarify- my insurance will cover it if you have a certain plan. So my plan goes to the Intermountain hospitals. But a different plan goes to the HCA hospitals and the surgical center. Why? I don’t understand why someone with my same insurance company can go to the surgical center but my plan doesn’t let me. The morning was spent with calls to insurance, surgical center and surgeon’s office. All with the final decision that I was not able to have surgery today. Oh my gosh thinking about it makes me want to stomp and scream and throw a tantrum!...
