Well, I'm really shedding now. It's all over my scarf, and my friend is trying to clean it up, although not with much success. I made an appointment with the image recovery store for Tues at 11:30 am for hair cutting, maybe shaving, and wig fitting. I don't know if I'll have any hair left by Tues, but I guess I can wear a hat until then.
I met up with Katie, another breast cancer survivor who is here at Hopkins, and had lunch at the Greene Turtle at Fells Point. She was telling me about how she shaved her head, but her scalp hurt a lot so she used a lint roller on her head. The final hair stubs came out on the roller and left a bald strip on her head. She was a bit traumatized. I'm not sure how to make the experience less traumatic, but it's a bit freaky to see so much hair coming out. I just don't want to see a bald patch on my head. That reminds me. Janet, what happened to your puppy with mange?

Soon you'll be able to use your AWESOMELY HOT wig. Makes me want to shave my head, actually.
=) CAN I COME VISIT YOU THIS WEEK?!
Hi Kyung, You are my hero!
As for Buddy (the dog), he beat the mange, and is now a happy doggie. He was adopted by my niece and nephew, because he was so pretty!
Janet.
I wish we would have been able to hang out today!!! Stephen is getting progressively worse, and my cough is not pretty. I'm really so relieved he had enough sense to mention that it wasn't a good idea. Remember, hair loss is so temporary!
Hmmm...the lint roller is an interesting solution...but not sure I would adopt it...
I associate the lint roller with other traumatic things, not to be mention here for fear of grossing you out.
Although I will miss your hair, I am sure that you will look good with whatever new do that you adopt. Also, when your hair grows back out, it will be even more beautiful than before.
I would like to visit sometime during the next couple of weekends. When are you most free?
Jeannie--Sure you can come! Don't forget to bring the sweater and Sam's jacket. I have chemo on Wed. Call me! I'll show you the wigs. =>
Janet--Good for Buddy! I hope to move on as well as he has. =D
Melissa--I'll see you soon. You, too, Michelle!
Jenny--I can't figure out what you're referring to. You can tell me later.
Sabrina--My hair may grow back curly for while. Nov. 15/16, Nov 29/30 are good. Call me!
