Today is my first day going back to work withuot my wig on. It is going to interesting. I work in a hiigh school and kids are going to wonder why. My hair is short but I have alot of it. Saturday was my birthday and I went ang got it trimmed up and done. I like it alot but can't wait for it to grow some more....

We were talkig about it Friday at work and one of the nurses told me"You fought your **** off to kick that cancer and you are a survivor.. You deserve to show the world that your are tough and kicked cancers ****". I am not nervous about the adults. It is the students. You know how teenagers can be...lol

Saturday nihgt my husband had a party for for me and everybody loved my hair...

Wish me luck...... Have a wonderful day.

    Thanks Val. It was a great day. Everyone loved it. It is such a relief to not wear that wig. We went to a soccer game tonight and it was nice to put my hoodie on when I got cold and not have to worry about my wig..

    I am so glad
    you had a great day. You have gone through a lot but are back to work and sporting a new hairdo. I never covered my head and even when it was shiny bald I never noticed one person staring or doing a double-take. I didn't care if they did but it was surprising.
