Hi Brenda I went back to work today - first day back with my head shaved. My scalp is still too sensitive and going bald is much more comfortable that wearing a scarf at the moment. I had a ball laughing at all the comparisons that people made between me and other personalities. My favourite was GI Jane. But I also liked the comparison to the Canberra Magnet Mart guy on the tv ads (Local reference). Lined myself up with 4 other balding guys in my work area and I can honestly say I was the prettiest of the lot! In other words I really embraced the whole baldness thing. Everyone was intrigued but over it in an hour or two. Now it will be normal going forward. I really value their kind hearted jokes that helped put me totally at ease but I think it helped that I set the tone as I didn't walk in there all apprehensive, but was positive instead and joked around first off before anyone got to say anything. This seemed to break the ice and let people know that I was ok with having a laugh about it. Good luck with it.
