So I knew my hair was going to fall out. Not a big deal in the scheme of things. I bought a wig, 'do rags, hats & expensive silk scarves. The thing I wear the most is my do rag. It stays on my head & I forget I have it....almost like hair.
Once I completed my 8 rounds of chemo, I returned to work. I was very nervous as it was my 1st coming out of my chemo cocoon. I found the right outfit & began to deliberate about my bald head. My 'do rag was way too casual...mostly for laying around the house. My wig was way too hot. I opted for my beautiful new Hermes scarf. I tied it just so & used wig tape to keep it in place.
As I entered the meeting, hugs all around. It was great to be back. A few times I had to adjust the scarf when it was pulled during a long embrace. The meeting went well & I hugged everyone to leave. Walking out, I thought "That went great! " I pulled off a sophisticated bald return to the world. About that time, I caught a glimpse of myself in a window. OH MY G-D! Exposed bald head on one side. The scarf was completely askew. Well so much for sophistication!
Reminder from Life - Don't take yourself too seriously...EVER!
