Update on Missed a beat or two

Never thought of myself as a good writer but I do love helping people. Makes me feel good :) I never bothered to get a wig. It was last February that I started trying them on and I got so hot and bothered that I decided not to get one. I just try and make my scarves as interesting as possible making little rosettes and contrasting two scarves together. But yes it is a dilemma when the weather gets hot. When I get home after wearing a scarf all day, the first thing I do is rip it off. Yes I guess in the scheme of things we should be glad we are well. But you'd agree that wellness is also how we feel emotionally. It's such a big thing to take away the security of a head cover and reveal to the world our bald heads. I have an aunty that has suffered from alopecia for many years and she just goes around completely bald. She gets lots of stares and I so admire her for her attitude. Never thought I'd be in her shoes. I couldn't possibly have bearded my bald head in public. I'm much to vain for that. I really have to get used to grey hair though for the time being and stop worrying about what other people think. There's nothing I can do about it yet. It's quite ironical that we were discussing hair at work just before my diagnosis and how much dying hair costs but I said I wasn't ready to go grey. Well now I have to accept it don't I. I've always been told I look young for my age and I've have been pleased but I think that is in the past now. Grey hair certainly ages you. Oh well! Acceptance is the thing to do now. I'll stop rambling now. Once I start it's hard to stop :) Enjoy your Christmas parties Deanne. Love Janey xxx
