No more halodom

Well, what an adventure today has been. Woke up late, it was raining. Suzanne and I got in the car and went to get my CT scan done and then darted over to the doctors office. I get to the waiting room, anxious, and wondering what he'll think of my progress.


In he walks and says "are you ready to get that thing off"? What kind of question is that? Anyway, it takes all of about 4 minutes, if that, to get this thing off my head and I immediately felt like a bobblehead doll. Doctor used the analogy of a bowling ball on a toothpick. That's exactly what it feels like, but I don't care cause it doesn't feel like a halo on my head.

So, we ride home, I have no collar on or anything, halo to NOTHING. It's a completely weird sensation. I have a feeling I'm going to be completely sore come tomorrow as I'm using muscles I haven't used in over 3 months (13.5 weeks to be exact).

Next on the agenda was shaving. Shaving the beard and head. I went through two sets of shears to do it, but I got it done. Then I went for a 45 minute shower (would have been longer if I had more hot water) where I took a razor to my head and face. What a GREAT feeling.

Anyway, I now intend to go lay in the bed I haven't layed in in over 3 months and actually lay down and sleep. After that, who knows...

Here's me right after I got the halo off and right after I shaved. Have a good laugh.
