The other day my brother stopped by and dropped off a gift for my mom for her birthday. He also gave me a gift too. I thought it was really nice that him and his wife picked out a pair of scarves. They are beautiful like works of art. Now I have something soft and smooth to cover my head with. My mom was given a beautiful umbrella.
Funny how one never knows how to use a scarf, at least I didn't. I took a tour of how to on you tube and found many ways to put one on the head. I'm grateful!! Actually I'm grateful for many things, a loving family in particular. Right now I'm very tired and cold, I was warned about getting the chills. Something I don't particularly want at this time as that signals a low white count.
This one is going to be short as I am about to go to bed and get some rest.

5 Words of Wisdom:
When I lost my hair, I bought lots of pashima scarves and shawls. In fact I like the look of those better than mantillas.
I thought I looked great in a turban. But no one wears one and when I did I felt it looked too different and made me feel self conscious.
Today I saw someone wear a baseball cap and on it she had pinned a big colorful flower. Why didn't I think of that?
One time I wore a pink baseball cap to church and a monk told me to take it off (I was at Spencer.) He thought I was a man. :-(
It gets worse...I did.
I don't think I've ever been more humiliated. I could feel my neck get red.
Faith I didn't know you had breast cancer too. I'm sorry you suffered humiliation when visiting Spencer. I hope it all went well for you? I feel like a misfit because of my other issues that mar the way.
I've tried hats throughout the years and never found them comfortable. My sister was with me when I picked out a wig and she bought me a pre-formed scarf, and later I bought a white one that makes me look sickly, only wear that one at home. I only had those to deal with. I found on you tube the one made from a t-shirt and I tried that too as well. That one is comfortable to wear. I need to wear something because I ended up with follicle problems.
I find it hard to believe that a man could mistake you as a man, you have a beautiful face Faith, there is no mistaking you are female.
Thanks for the kind words, but it wasn't breast cancer. It was another purgatory disease, called Cronkhite Canada Syndrome. http://theonetruefaith-faith.blogspot.com/2008/11/cronkhite-canada-syndrome.html
Your welcome Faith, I checked out your website and what you wrote, i concure regarding what you said. Then I checked out the condition to understand. My prayers are with you, I hope that with time you have grown much stronger and better. From what i have read on your blog you seem you seem to be very active and applaud you for that considering what this illness has done to you.
What I am going through is mediocre at best but enough to keep me homebound.
It happened again. I was on the train and the conductor said, "Ticket, Sir."
This time, no hat, just my own hair.
