We kids teased my mom horribly in 1969, when she returned from a shopping trip with a wig. I hope my kids are nicer when they see me in one! Yesterday, my friends Lorrie and Shari encouraged me to go on a wig outing. I didn't even have my first chemo appointment set. And it was just a week ago, that my head was spinning to learn I was indeed going to need chemo. But they were right, it was the time. Oddly enough, that same morning, my friend Kim texted me from Oklahoma. She'd heard about a salon in my area and encouraged me to go. "It's owned by a mother/daughter team... both cancer survivors!" It happened to be the place where I had the appointment. And then, Martha from Denver messaged me with some totally crazy wig photos, which put me in a fun goofy mood. And my sister, Jennifer phoned days earlier, saying she'd hop on a plane to be with me when it came to head shaving time. I felt surrounded by support before heading out the door. But as I headed out the door, it did feel a little creepy. I was going wig shopping and I don't even like clothes shopping! But hey, maybe I could end up with better hair! After all, I've spent a lot of time sporting some crazy hair... like you can see in this old photo! So I could end up with hair that doesn't hang in my face. And unlike this photo, I do at least have a mouth full of teeth!

Not-So-Happy List
Cancer, Covid & Coronary... I started this complaining list/blog, in May 2016. I posted 200 gripes about my breast CANCER and then I was done. On March 13, 2020, I started venting all over again, when another disease (starting with a C) interfered with my life. This time it was the invasion of COVID and it affected every person. I ranted for a year, until I got my COVID vaccine in March 2021. CORONARY Artery Disease was the reason I restarted this blog on September 26, 2021. This time it was my hubby Don, who was dealing with a worry that started with the letter "C". Coronavirus and Cancer, Coronary Artery Disease! All are evil, but none can totally get me down... if I vent! I usually end up feeling a little more positive at the end of each post! Navigating This Mess! The most recent post is at the top, from coronary posts in 2022, back to cancer posts in 2016. To find past posts, look below the "Archives" section, to find "Categories". Archives
