"Swimmer's Cut" - Short Hair for the First Time in 11 Years
I have been so stir-crazy - so desperate for any sort of
physical activity.
Dr. Turnbull agreed that swimming in moderation would be good for
me, and several weeks ago he prescribed an "AirCast" - a compact
removable padded plastic leg brace for me to wear while swimming.
I signed up at the TTU Fitness Center and started swimming on weekday
mornings, and it's going very well - I am already up to an hour and twenty
minutes of swimming, non-stop.
Initially, each time I went swimming it took me 15 minutes to brush out
the tangles in my hair, and I just got tired of it. A week ago, right after
fighting with the tangles one more time, I went to a hair salon and
got a buzz cut. This is the shortest my hair has been since I was a
small child, and it feels great. I can wash and rinse my hair in less
than a minute. I think I'll keep it this way for a while. I like it.
