NO Hair

Written 2019-10-17

Today, I have no hair other than my eyebrows hanging on just a bit.

I've never known this state.

As a baby, I'm sure it never crossed my mind.

This naked mole-rat situation.

Freckles never seen before on my scalp and my ears take the prominence they've always longed to have.

The entire ordeal strange with humiliation, yet today, I meet the suck head on.

Embracing that which is necessary to move forward to health.

The entirety of this experience beyond my ability to understand.
