melissad's Cancer Blog

February 7, 2010

Well, the waiting is just about over, I think I have lost about 80% of my hair. This is a very bad look – basically a bald eagle with a combover. So, it will be hats hats hats until I get my wig later this week.

To my local friends, please know that I feel much better (and younger) than I look! Seriously! This may make for some awkward encounters, but I will do my best not to isolate myself. Gah!

In happier news, my son has hit a really fun developmental stage. He is a great distraction. And evidently I look like Elmo in my new red hat.

Elmo! You would be a huge hit at Ro’s daycare. Good to hear that you’re feeling pretty well. Hopefully we can get together soon and let the kids practice their headstands (Ro does it too).
