Shelia,
I loved this! It reminds me of the time I was going through chemo and had not a hair on my head. My husband was driving me down to Mayo in Jacksonville (about a three hour drive) for another treatment and I wasn't feeling well because my Hgb had dropped to 9. I had my seat reclined so I could doze and all of a sudden, I sat straight up and announced,"I'm glad I don't have any hair!" My husband looked at me with the strangest look on his face. It was a mixture of~should I look for the nearest mental hospital and disbelief. I told him, "I don't have the strength to fool with it right now." So thank you again for sharing this.

I think so Sheila:)

I read this when going through my own chemo and it really made me smile as it did today!

Re: I think Joe would have liked this....
 

You are so right, Sheila! Thanks so much for sharing this.

Re: I think Joe would have liked this....
 

Sheila, I copied this over to a thread on the newcomers forum that had to do with hair loss. Perfect! Thanks!

Re: I think Joe would have liked this....
 

There were no "bad hair" days then.
They were just "no hair" days!

Thank you Sheila,
This should be posted on many sites...people who are not fighting this disease but complain over ordinary everyday things...hmmmm...makes one stop and appreciate the day no matter what the head looks like!

Yes, Joe would love this.

Sheila,
Thanks for sharing this. I, too, have plagarized it and sent it to all my friends. I remember how grateful I was that I didn't look like a bald freak because I didn't have the energy to try and cover up the fact I was hairless. Thanks again for sharing.
Love & hugs,
Marlys

That is awesome, Sheila. I agree. I think Joe would like it. And, frankly, it reminds me of you. Your attitude always seems so good!!! You are an inspiration!

Hugs,
Maureen

Sheila,

That was just wonderful! I know Joe would have loved it and I think more importantly he lived it just as you do.

I haven't been able to post my thoughts on our loss of dear Joe. The words just are not there quite yet. Oddly, the loss is so profound. He was our rock and to think he was suffering and I did not know.

Well, I can say this: heaven is a brighter place because Joe is shining there.

Tricia, I love your new Avatar with your super-sized Maine Coon Kitty! I think I may start a pet thread in Joe's honor where we post our furry children on it. What do you all think? He was proud of his Belle. I know my fluffy ones made those long, sleepless, post-chemo nights so much more bearable with their snuggles and presence. I nearly always had a kitty by my side, and Molly (my survivor kitty and on my signature) was fascinated by the lack of fur on my head! She would perch on the back of my recliner and place her paw on my bald pate. Her paw would slide over my head and then rest there. Once my hair returned she never parked herself on my recliner again. I think Molly preferred me bald!
