Here's a closer view. It looks greasy because I am putting vitamin E oil to help with the tenderness and pain. At this point in time, nothing really helps all that much. You can see closer towards the front one of the spots where I will probably permanently lose some hair. It's a small patch right now, but it's getting really burned. (Or at least it feels that way.)

You can also see the scar where they cut the skull for the burr hole to drain the hematoma. It's about an inch or so above the ear. I can actually FEEL the round hole where they drained it. It's awesome!

If you look closely at the very, very top of my scalp, you can see part of the scar from the original surgery that curves along the entire head.

No Comb-Over Could Fix This

It's the end of year 32 for Jenny. I'm turning 33 tomorrow! No better way to celebrate than by posting the latest and greatest picture for your viewing pleasure. It's a pretty sweet 'do, isn't it!?

Note the redness and the precise line of where the hair loss starts and ends. The loss curves around my ear, but I still have some hair left at the bottom. That means I can wear a beret and you can't really tell that I have lost any hair at all.

Of course, hats aren't as comfy as the silk scarves that I have. I like to wear the scarves sometimes because then people smile at me more...they feel bad for me, I guess! Kevin thinks I'm weird, but is it really so wrong to like it when people are smiling at you all the time (and holding doors open for you and stuff)?! Hey, I might as well enjoy the 'perks' of losing my hair while I can!
