official all-clear

I got the official all-clear from my doctor last week! Wahoo! I was preeeeetty sure that I didn't see anything, but there were a few white lines that could've kinda maybe sorta been something. But nope, I'm all good.

Forgot to point out before, but did you notice that there's no empty space where the tumor used to be? Crazy how my brain just bounced back. I never saw my CT scan, but I wonder if it was immediate? The tumor was pressing into my brain, squishing things onto itself, so to me it makes sense that it would have just re-expanded. So would that be like memory foam or unlike memory foam? Or maybe a rubber ball is a better metaphor. My brain as a rubber ball. A stress ball.

Right? I crack myself up.

My hair is growing back. The hair on most of my head is a normal length, but the area right around my scar is still struggling. I *this close* to being able to do a comb-over or other hair-trickery and it will be nice to not wear a scarf every day. Though I've gotten much better at quickly selecting a scarf to go with my outfit. At first it took me SO long and I was late for work every day. Now the scarf selection takes just a minute or two, same as deciding on any other accessory.
