Hair Woes

I am currently in a place with multiple sclerosis (MS) where I have decreased sensation in my fingertips. I can type, drive, cook, and clean. Pretty much all the basic stuff. I do find that I am dropping things more so I did invest in one of those grabbers. I am sure that isn’t the correct name for it, but you get the point. One thing that I find myself actually struggling with is my hair. When I am washing, detangling, and styling my hair, I don’t feel it well. Also, my hands feel a little weak. The problem with this, I have a lot of fucking hair. It now takes me two days to do my hair because it is kind of a trial.

In an effort to not just cut it all off…again, I decided to get my hair braided. I am not really a fan of braids on my head for a few reasons. One, they are heavy. Two, I don’t like hair touching me. Three, it feels like I have a helmet on my head. Four, I am too cheap to pay for this on an ongoing basis. I put all these protests aside and got my hair braided. And all the things I just listed above still apply 😆. Akia, the young lady who braided my hair, did a great job. Once again, I am the problem. It has been turning out that I am the problem more and more lately, and I don’t like it. But I have been walking around looking crazy and I had to do something about it. Braids will give me a few weeks break, and I will finally look decent for a change.

I hope after a few days I will get used to the braids and quit whining. They do really look good, but I guess we will see. Be well and whole. Much Love 🧡 💚
