Going to the hair salon the day before having surgery
•••
Two weeks ago I fractured my tibia while bouldering in California (the price one pays for an adventurous spirit, I fear). Since then my self esteem has been wasting away, not helped by the fact that every time I look in the mirror there’s an absolute grease-frizz nightmare staring back at me. Moving at all has been painful, and showering has been near impossible. We’re in the big city (Anchorage, AK) for my surgical appointments, so today I went to get a wash and trim at a salon… it was magical… after days of sponge baths, it felt so good to feel CLEAN and PRETTY and GLOSSY like a well-kept Irish Setter. I may wake up from anesthesia tomorrow with steel plates & donor bone inside my leg, covered in sweat and babbling nonsense—but my hair will still feel lovely, and that is something worth recommending. thank you to Jossie at Hairplay in Anchorage for giving me a little bit of dignity back 🩵
