There Oughta Be A Law
That requires clothing designers to produce scarves that complement the outfits they sell. I mean, they're always trying to get you to buy jewelry to match your new outfit. It's a real pain to find things to wear on my head that don't clash with what I'm wearing on my body and are big enough to tie around my fairly small head. I know bald cancer patients don't make up a huge segment of the population, but trust me, those of us not wearing wigs would be willing to spend the extra $20 on a scarf. If you know of anywhere selling moderately attractive scarves made of cotton (the silky ones slide off my now smooth head) in the 30" range, let me know.
I went shopping for some new clothes this weekend. It was great to get out of the house and walk around a little and new clothes always make a girl feel good. I did manage to mortify one shop keeper during my outing, though. I went into the dressing room with a lot of clothes, and my head covered. I wasn't coming out between most outfits but I needed a different size, so I emerged from the dressing room to find the salesman. He'd been following me around since I entered the store trying to "help," so I thought now would be his chance. I guess I uncovered my head somewhere in all of the clothes changing and my baldness was quite a shock to him. It took him several seconds to raise his jaw and put his eyeballs back in his head from the shock of seeing my almost completely bald head. I probably should have been appalled, but I thought it was funny. He was definitely more comfortable after I was finished and my head covered again.
I suspect my head will be entirely hairless by week's end. The only real area with any significant hair to speak of is the back of my head and that's going fast. The top and sides are sparsely populated. The skin on my head feels almost waxy. I don't think there is skin like it anywhere else on my body.
I go back to the doctor tomorrow for some blood work, but nothing else is new.
