I finally bit the bullet and went ahead with scheduling the appointment my doctor has been wanting me to have. We spent the entire appointment discussing hair restoration and other options. I've been going back and forth about the idea of doing something about my hair for a long while now. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I know the hair loss probably bothers me more than it should. It's probably going to feel different for me than it is for my husband. I don't know. I just wasn't expecting this, you know? I expected I might have other problems, but I never anticipated hair loss. I guess what got me thinking about it again was seeing a woman at the grocery store last night who had some bald spots throughout her scalp. I was half-tempted to talk to her and ask her some questions but I didn't want to be rude about it. Plus she might not even be aware of it herself! I'm sure she was, but I still held back. It really wasn't that noticeable, but I guess I've just been noticing it more in people since it started happening to me. The point is, seeing that lady made me realize I want to talk to somebody about it. It showed me that it's still a concern, so now I want to be proactive about addressing that concern. I haven't made any decisions about what I want to do, but it feels good to have made that first step! Just talking to my doctor made me feel like I was getting some peace of mind back.
