Bald is beautiful?






This afternoon I decided to take this whole hair-loss thing into my own hands. So, with the help of the girls and Aunt Vickie... and a pair of clippers.... I made it happen. We took some pictures along the way, so you might see a photo or two of me with a Mohawk one of these days. Check out the funky earrings I'm wearing. A dear old friend, Auntie Lois, brought me a whole bag of fun earrings (the concept is to draw attention away from the bald head...is it working?) Everyone keeps telling me that I have a cute round head but I'm still not completely convinced that the GI Jane look is for me. Regardless, I'm happy that it's over.

Originally, I wanted to turn this whole head-shaving thing into a fundraiser. I thought about inviting people over and letting them take turns cutting my hair (for a small price). I pictured wine, appetizers, and laughter but when the time came it turned into a personal moment. I hope all my friends and family understand my decision to make this private.

I am going to crawl in bed with Ricky and try to rest. I haven't been sleeping much the past few days and my headaches have been annoying. I'm hoping the headaches disappeared with the hair.

Goodnight for now-
Dream Big

I think you are absolutely beautiful with or without hair (in fact, I kinda think I like the bald thing the best!)

Please keep us all posted on the lung transplant idea. I am not sure why you would not jump at the chance, but at the sanme time I am SURE I don't have the whole story. Thanks and God bless your whole wonderful family...

You look beautiful! No apologies needed to anyone for the choices you make in your life - about shaving your head or about anything! As I always remind my "fellow cancer friends", "there is no RIGHT or WRONG way to live with cancer, just YOUR way.

I had my mohak moment, too. Who knew that losing your hair could actually have it funny moments.

Love you more than all the raindrops on my window this morning,
