How Touching... or NOT!

Captainsblog, Stardate: 63285.6
I was taken completely by surprise today, I changed into my shorts to hit the treadmill, and happened to catch a glimpse in the mirror... I did a doubletake, I did a TRIPLE take.  When standing, my thighs don't touch any more, there is SPACE.  Wow... who'd a thunk it?  I'll be nice and NOT post an accompanying picture!  LOL!

Of Plateaus & Hair Loss



Captainsblog, Stardate: 63262.6 (why yes, it IS my favorite way to start a blog post)
I've been hanging out on a plateau for a couple of weeks, but interestingly, I am not totally static, i have seen changes while here.  I find things fitting differntly, the sand is shifting I guess.  I'm rather frustrated with the lack of exercise, I've added some back in, but since falling and wrenching my back and hips, most exercise is hurtful (beyond the positive "feel the burn" kind of pain). So I'm not sure what do about all THAT.

The hair is still on the retreat... which concerns me (yes I KNOW it's normal).  I have this vision of a real oddball head of hair when it begins to re-grow... a porcupineish look perhaps?  I imagine 2 feet+ of what hair doesn't fall out, and this fuzzy undergrowth of new hair.  I'm supporting my hair from the inside (skin, hair & nails vitamins in addition to what I am already taking post-op)... and externally (nioxin)... I'm not "worried" about my hair... but to quote Jackie boy "I don't like it!"

Milestone approaching... hopefully that'll be my next post.
