“I have good days and bad days, but they say it’s normal,” she continued. “So, some days I’m up, some days I’m down. Today I felt like going to the salon, so that was good. I normally don’t go to the salon, I usually have people come to my house. Today, I decided to drive to the salon and actually sit in the salon with other women and that was good to be around other people.”
