some hair came out in the shower for the first time last night. although i knew it would happen, it was a little shocking nonetheless. i keep telling myself that unlike other conditions where people lose their hair because they're fighting for their life, i am lucky and grateful that i am getting my life back. still, i'm anxious to see where it will fall out from, and how i'll manage it.

over the last months, i've quipped about how ironic it would be to suddenly be thin for the first time, and bald. not seeming funny at the moment.
