13 Days - The Hair Do that Did!

Getting your hair done is pretty important to most ladies....sorry guys this might be more of a ladies blog today.  Now as you know I have been a little nervous since my pre op appointment a few days ago.  I have been mulling everything over in my brain.  I am a thinker, if there is a problem or something that upsets me I think about it and think about it and think a little more.  My husband says I over think things but I don't agree, I am not sure that something can be over thought.  In thinking about whatever the issue may be I usually come to a few conclusions: yes, I was right and need to continue, no,I was wrong and need to withdraw from proceeding or I need more information to make a decision about the previous two conclusions.  I have thought alot about what I learned at the pre op appointment and decided that yes I was right and was continuing with the surgery but I needed some more information about the PICC line and the intubation.  First me and DR.Google became great friends.  Then I spoke with some friends that are healt care professionals.  Upon learning more information about both procedures I am confident I will handle both with style.  Now that is not saying that I won't be a little nervous because that is just a general given most people have anxiety or nervousness when it comes to things they don't know, which is why I always opt to find out more.  The more knowledge I have the better I feel.  Which is why I think so much about events, situations or problems.  To me there always has to be an answer, good, bad or undecided.One of the things I do when I am really upset or just not feeling well is get my hair done.  I know it sounds funny but somehow getting my hair done always seems to make me feel much better.
So last night I booked a hair appointment for this morning at 9am.  I had originally just wanted to have blonde highlights put in to lighten my hair and cover some of my grey, but once there in the chair I decided that I also wanted my hair cut and cut is what I had done.  I had quite a few inches removed to a short Halle Berry kind of bob.  I love it!  I feel fresh and revitalized.  Funny what a hair do can do.  I am sure that there are other women that would say that a great hair do can make a big difference to how you feel.  I know for a fact that if I feel a little sad or down about me having my hair look great just makes things so much better.  I think it starts with the initial washing process.  It feels so fantastic when someone else is washing your hair....it's like a scalp massage.  It is so relaxing I could almost fall asleep while the hair dresser is washing my hair.  The cuting and shaping and seeing a style emerge is like a new beginning a fresh start of sorts and then when you look in the mirror and see the finished product and they touch it up here and there then put some spray to keep it that way for awhile.  It is a feeling of success or accomplishment.  A euphoria of feelings can come from accomplishment and I think that is why I always feel so good after getting my hair done.  So naturally after this week it seemed impairitive for me to get my hair done, but not only to bring some clarity to this weeks events but to bring the sense of success and accomplishment that after the surgery I can look in the mirror and say I did it and feel good about me and what I have done.  It might be a weird theory to some but others may understand it.  It really doesn't matter if you do or don't, what matters is I am on the road to success and it started with the the hair do that did!
