What they don't tell you!

hello all

oh wonderful reading all your comments . Its so nice to know we all understand eachother and care.

I also had a huge problem with losing my beautiful thick healthy locks which I treasured. But I was pro-active and had my head shaved just before it was due to fall out ( a good move )

i find the bald old woman in the mirror a bit hard to handle some days but I always try and think of myself as Sigorney Weaver in Alien ( I have the complete series) and hope Iam as tough as her ....hehe !!

what i cant handle is Ive lost my hair but its growing a forest on my chin and on my top lip ...whats with that ??? lol

anyway Im 56 and although 10 years older than you i still think i am far too young for this old woman stuff .. Ill tell you a story ....it was my step-fathers 70 and all his family were there many of which i did not know. One ladysaid ""oh you must be Pams sister" I just stood there because I thought i looked nice that day and said no Im not and walked away. I went to the toilet and cried and cried. Pam is my Mum. Now my Mum is 76 and she is gorgeous for her age and young and happy and a party girl but she still is older and you can tell now shes getting up there. so to have someone say that really hurt. Am I looking THAT old???

Yes its bloody hard this thing we go through but there is an end and as long as we have those who care around us we will be ok ...it sjust the journey can be sooo hard sometimes

cheers to you Terry
