When I used to work, I used to wash my hair every day. Now that my disease has progressed as far as it has, it is very difficult and Uses up a lot of my energy to wash my hair every day. I now wash my hair every other day. It really doesn’t matter because I am pretty much homebound anyway but that is how it is. Sometimes, washing my hair takes way too much energy, more than I have, so I would just have dirty hair if I am not going to see anybody.
Sean and my Mom have witnessed me like this. Today, I washed my hair. It was kind of cold after my hair was washed and still wet so my Mom suggested that I blow dry it. While working, I would wash my hair every day and blow dry it nicely so it had a finished look to it. This past spring and summer, it was too warm to blow dry my hair so I just let it air dry. It’s actually better for my hair to let it air dry sometimes.
Because I was cold, today was the first day I have blowdryed my hair since last April I think. It felt strange as I ran my fingers through my hair as I was drying it. Yeah, I no longer use my round brush to style it because I’m not going anywhere.
I told my Mom that my hair felt funny on my fingers as if there was a film on it and maybe all the shampoo was not rinsed out. She told me to watch it again tomorrow because I have an appointment with Dr. Moore. I can’t remember the exact context of what she said but she told me that I have, “Greaseball hair!”
I threw my head back and laughed hysterically! Maybe that is why I used to wash my hair every day? Now that physical exertion takes it’s toll out on me so much, I just let my hair sit another day. Tomorrow, I will be out in public so I guess it won’t hurt to wash the again. I just have to gear up to get it washed tomorrow too.
I continued laughing so much so then my Mom started to laugh as well. I absolutely love it when we can laugh! It makes me think of the quote about having 1 million things to cry about but choosing to laugh. That’s me because having MS and my knee hurting so much it is very difficult but I love to laugh any chance I get, especially with my Mom! I don’t even care if it’s at my expense with my, “Greaseball hair.” We laughed most of the morning and afternoon today!
