I'm not sure if this is a normal feeling, but for weeks and months i'd stressed over how i would hide my HT and what would i do/say if people find out. However i had my HT over the last 2 days, and felt an overwhelming sense of pride that i'd finally done something that i'd wanted to do for a long time.
I walked into the clinic this morning for my day 3 hair wash without any bandages on top so the world could see, and didn't care what people thought. I had one middle aged woman stare at me like i'd got two heads but i just smiled as i was comfortable with my new very red head, and being safe in the knowledge that he next 12 months could change my life!
I saw this as a major change in my perception from pre to post op, and when i go back to work i'm going to be completely open about where i have been. I think there are a lot of people at my work that are probably in the safe 'self conscious boat' that i was in up until Monday this week, but probably don't know what options are out there, and in all honesty if it wasn't for other people being so open (including celebrities) then i'd have probably never known about a HT being an option.
