Hair off!?

First a big thank you for Judy for encouraging me to keep a diary and when I moaned suggested a blog!
My life is rollercoaster at the moment and I am, after all, a writer, so, here goes.
I'll fill in the backstory later but m hair is coming out from chemo! My hair is one of my better features (along with big blue expressive eyes, large curvacious breasts and brains). It's long
ish, luxuriant, wavy. Alas no more. Time (tomorrow) for Iain to come round and shave it off with izzy wizzy let's get busy clippers. The trouble is I have lice eggs in it. I got out all the actual insects, but not the eggs. Combing my hair with the nitty Nora comb thing was working - eggs were coming out, but then clumps of hair started coming out instead. I know there are a few eggs still lurking.
So, my plan is to wash and cut it short with scissors, give it a good going over and then when he gets here, fess up. The clippers will need to be boiled, disenfected and generally rendered harmless for the next use. Iain is such a drling I'm sure he'll be 100% cool, but, I wish I'd got em all out first!
Will catch up on back story and let you know how shave goes asap!
