Baldness

Day 12 and the only effect of the chemo now is the sensitivity in my fingers and toes. Thank heavens! So, this blog does not need to have its focus for the moment on illness, anymore than my life does. I did however order more scarves today from the States. I think that scarves are more my thing than wigs. Not that I won't wear the wig now that I've bought it. It's just that every time I look in the mirror I think I'm looking at the kid who played Annie in the musical. Not quite the image I want to cultivate! Both scarves and wigs can make you very hot. They just don't breathe the way real hair does. Obviously! Given the choice I would rather have to take off a scarf in public than a wig.

Continuing on the subject of hair and hair loss, I have discovered that I don't have a problem being bald. I might have a problem with other people seeing me bald in case it upsets them. The most difficult part being bald is becoming bald. Once the hair has gone, once it is no longer falling out all over the house, then it's just fine.
