Wigs

Richard and I have been talking about me getting a wig. When I have the chemo, it will be pretty aggressive and I am pretty sure I will lose my hair.. its a scary thought. Its just hair, and not that I have great hair, but I like my hair. Losing my hair is such a small part of this whole thing but it really does matter. I guess its part of vanity. I need to go online and see what is out there for possibilities.... perhaps a blond, jet black, red head..long, short, a bob style maybe.. hard to say. This could be fun, if there is anything fun about losing your hair. I don't see myself wearing a bandanna, or just going around bald... but a wig? what if it falls off? what if looks plastic like a Barbie doll? thanks to one good friend, I already have a lead on a store in Portland. I am trying to just go day by day and still be as active as I can right now. Its just over a week out of surgery, but I don't want my life to become so full and overtaken by my thoughts about this cancer. But that's tough too. I know I cant ignore it but I want to be normal too. I don't want it in every conversation and when people look at me I don't want them to think, "she has cancer". Oh for the day Jehovah promise to us of no more sickness is here.
