Of course they will
Of course they will Michelle, you will find that people are generally VERY supportive. I'm glad you went out, it will get easier and before you know it you'll be done. You're in my prayers. Hugs, Lili0 -
Purple hearts/Pink Hearts/Turquoise hearts (For Tasha)
You know how brave soldiers get purple hearts? Well, you've earned your pink heart for extraordinary courage in fighting a battle of a lifetime. None of us can do it alone. The support of friends and coworkers and the people here keep us going. So it's good to get out when we feel up to it. Here's to a terrific tomorrow. Lynn0 -

Almost couldn't find you with all this spam on the boards again (gonka)I have been busy flagging them.
I know how you feel.. it took quite a few days before i was able to go to the post office(i'm in such a small town everyone knows everything all the time! and i put my wig on and went there was such a gathering in the entrance to the PO after i walked in i couldn't believe it. They were all so kind saying things like "you just keep getting it shorter and shorter" and its so cute acting like it was just a haircut. I told them they "wouldn't believe how short it really was" and we had a good laugh. That helped to break the ice. I then got up enough courage to venture over to work and pop in and say hey! they also were great. The wind was blowing when i got back in my car and i looked in the mirror and it was standing straight up I looked like a Rod Stewart want to be. It smoothed right out but wigs aren't like hair which just blows back in place and it sure doesn't feel natural, after about 4 hours in it i came home and ripped it off it was itching and it hurt. I had red rings around my head. My neighbor had decorated a little hat for me and brought it over later a cute little jeweled J on it and pins that say "Lets focus on me" I will buck up and wear that next time.
What i hate is the look of pity that people give you when you open your own front door before donning a wig. I suppose they can't help but be shocked the same way it was when we first looked in the mirror. Still I hate the "pity" look.
Sorry for the ramble. I am proud of you and have a great day.
God Bless

Hi, Michelle, I somehow missed your post above. I'm glad that you enjoyed the trip to Walmart and seeing everyone. You had mentioned it earlier and I knew you were a bit nervous about it. I'll be the same next week, when I go back to work and try wearing my wig. I have so appreciated the encouragement I've gotten here.
It is strange, isn't it, to have hair on your head that is not yours?? Kudos to us all for getting out there. And thanks to Jackie for the heads up, so to speak, on wind and wigness.0
