Dear Kriss: Big hug to you. I am one of the ladies who didn't mind being bald. I loved just towel drying my head after a shower. I was amazed that my bald head looked a little pointy. I joked that I'm a "pointy-headed liberal." I wore hats in winter, but didn't buy a wig. On the other hand when I lost my eyebrows and eyelashes I was very upset, because I've always been proud of my natural arch and long lashes. They grew back as good as ever. This too shall pass!! MJO
