AA Shower

So I just found this towel online which will help with my aromatherapy oils at night. It is called the Hair Therapy Wrap. It's hilarious! But I am excited to get it because it heats up in the microwave and supposedly stays warm for 30 minutes. I read it was used by chemo patients for hair repair and sometimes just for hot oil treatment. I have been experimenting with bandannas, skullcaps and towels on the pillow. I can sleep in a skull cap now which is actually comfortable. It keeps me warm in the frigid temps.

While this item only set me back 20 bucks--this dis-ease is really getting expensive! WTF! I am thinking--would it be appropriate to throw a "Healing Shower"? I can set up my wish list on Amazon and it would read something like this:

Aromatherapy Oils 30.00/bottle
Hypnotherapy appointments 130.00/session
Relaxing Massage 60.00/session
Meditative CDs 25.00
Doctors Visit (5) 250.00/session
Cranial Prosthesis 200-300/item
Haircuts (past) 30.00/session
X-Fusion Lt brown 20.00/bottle
Organic Shampoo/Cond. 10.00/bottle

Would all my friends gather around me an "oh" and "ah" over the great gifts? Would they tell me how strong I am to go out in public alone and congratulate me on my success on maintaining a positive outlook throughout this experience? Tell me that they can't wait to see me with my new hair growing in looking fantastic...that would be great!

No, this is not as fun as a baby shower or wedding gifts but this is what it's costing to preserve my health and my sanity. My health care provider offers almost no support for treatment and quite frankly--it sucks! Would it be tacky to ask for donations?! I am sending good thoughts into the world that allow me to continue my self-care treatment without depleting my retirement account.
