Hi everyone, today we have hit a new milestone. I'm BALD!! My hair started falling out a few days ago so today Frank (have I mentioned lately that I have the best husband in the world) shaved my head for me. I must admit it was a bit traumatic. I guess I have been moving through this Cancer journey trying to ignore that anything has really changed. Even after my lumpectomy and node removal, with my clothes on, you can't see the scars and I look the same. Now, if I catch a reflection of myself, it is very apparent that something drastic has changed in my life. Okay, that's enough of the maudlin stuff, now on to the positive stuff.
Pros
1. Save money on shampoo
2.Save time spent fixing my hair
3. It will be much cooler during the steamy Florida summer.
4. I will learn to be less vain.
5. Frank always said he liked me in hats. (More evidence he is the BEST )
Cons
1 . I'm bald and look like Sinead O'Connor on a very bad day.
But life goes on. I spent time outside today doing some yard work and trying to get my head looking less like a very pale melon. In a few days I will get more accustomed to it. On the good side, I am feeling well and building strength each day.
Next week will be a busy one. Thursday I will have my next round of Chemo. Friday the band is playing a high society wedding reception at the Ringling property in Sarasota so I will try out my new wig.We have hired another female singer to help out since I may not have enough energy to sing the entire night. I'm sure it will all be fine. Frank and I will try to add some photos soon. I hope you are all well and happy. Thank you for your concern and prayers. Love, Dianne

My love to both of you.
Dianne, I am CERTAIN that you look beautiful, as you always do. Your hair has nothing to do with it. Glad to hear you're feeling stronger!
ReplyDeleteDi, As I've told you many times, you are my hero!! Or, should I say heroine? Also, you are still undoubtedly one of the most beautiful women I know.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking about you this Thursday, as I always am. Love to that "beautiful" hubby of yours, too, ha.

Hi Di,
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know that you were missed, at our lunch yesterday. You know the rule. Since you weren't there, Mom and all of your sisters got to talk about you!
I'm sending positive thoughts to you, re. your chemo today, that you have few side affects!
Love you,
A...
Di,
ReplyDeleteYou look like your sister, Laurie, which means you will be beautiful even bald.
You are in my thought and prayers.
