This morning I was all ready to chop off my hair, but when I held the scissors up I lost my nerve. I wrapped my hair up with a scarf that helped cover some of the thinned out areas, but I continued to shed (which is a big nuisance when you are cooking!) and felt itchy. I took my shower later this morning and another handful of hair came out, plus a second handful came out while I was 'styling' my hair. I just decided to heck with it! I pulled out the scissors and chopped it all off and Paul got his razor and shaved my head. OMG!!!! I look like my brother Joe! Of course he would say that there is nothing wrong with that as he is an exceptionally good looking kind of guy. :)
I am now wearing my new wig which of course does not look anything like the way the sales lady had it looking, but at least it is halfway decent and covers my bald head. This whole event wasn't near as traumatic as I thought it would be, probably because the shedding was becoming such a nuisance and dragging on for so long. It was more traumatic for the kids, watching their mom have all of her hair shaved off.

Thanks for sharing your time with us. God knows there are days if I had the courage to do the same. See if you can pick up a good wig for me too. Hate fussing with my hair that's why I do the simple one style lasts for weeks.
I've got to say though you still look as beautfiul on the outside as you present on the inside. You still generate warmth, consideration, generosity and humour through it all, which encourages those around you. Have a great day as your journey continues.
