Losing my hair

I ordered a wig today. It

I ordered a wig today. It really did look like my real hair. The lady was awesome,  and made me feel good enough they I actually got one just like my hair before chemo. She put the red swatch in what is left of my hair, and it was the exact same color so kismet I guess. It was cool that I could add barrettes, even some kinds of ponytails,  part however,  style however. Glad I decided to check it out.

thanks for the encouragement! It was definitely one of those, well, who knows if I will make it, so buy the wig. At least I will be comfortable now at my reunion, and at any events where I don't want a chemo cap to be the focus. I have been looking forward to this reunion since I missed the last one. And I was trying to figure out how to cancel when I had already made plans with my friends back home. The lady was so wonderful. She made it fun. And like you said, she told me lots of women who don't even need wigs wear them to be able to shake things up, to not have to deal with styling hair. I am still going to be very sad about my hair, but at least now I won't beg off things because of my hair. Oh, and I tried on one that made me feel like Khaleesi! It was fabulous. I wanted to stand up and say, Dracarys. That one did not come in red, so I stuck with the 18 inch long one. Any guesses as to how much the insurance will reimburse? I am guessing 200. Oh, at least I get to send in a form to get the state tax back.
