Well, I did it. I took off my scarf this morning at school to show a friend how I tie it around my head and the few people in the room strongly encouraged me to leave it off. I have a little bit of hair - but not much. The hair is no more than the shape of my head which, I guess, is the weirdest thing, but I listened to my friends and left it off for the whole day. It was quite liberating! :-)
Okay, so how do I use this nearly bald head of mine to my advantage at the annual Halloween party I usually go to? Do I go as something/someone bald? or wear a dreadlocks wig a friend of mine has and said I could borrow... ?? suggestions? anyone?
:-)

Winding down...
Well, it's been too long since I have posted!! The last chemo treatment was so monumental to me, and it has all seemed downhill, sort of, since then, but at the strong urging of my mother (and she's always right) I thought I'd get off my duff and post! I am doing well and have been back at school since the first teacher workday. I, thankfully, haven't had to take any time off due to fatigue or anything other than doctors' appointments.
I recently had follow-up surgery to finish the reconstruction. The surgery (outpatient) was last Wednesday and I've been out of school since then. I return tomorrow and am more than ready to do so! The surgery went well, and I've had little to no pain or discomfort. My mom came to take me to the surgery and then stayed with me until Saturday. Then my dear friend from Alabama, Becky, arrived Saturday evening and stayed through this morning. I've had a relaxing week and feel well restored! :-)
My hair is growing back in and is all fuzzy and soft and white! Well, some of it is brown, too, but there is so much more white than there was before! The white hairs are acting like they just might be curly! which, if it does turn out to be curly, will be pretty wild because I have ALWAYS had stick straight hair! I still wear a hat or scarf to school and anywhere else out in public, but I'm hoping by Thanksgiving I will be ready to bare my head of hair! I'll let you know...
