Wiggin Out

Wiggin Out

So I finally went out in public with my wig on.  I met up with a couple of good friends for dinner and I left my scarf at home.  I think it was a success.  It felt kind of nice to wear it, as long as it is for a short amount of time.  It did get a little itchy and uncomfortable.  I hope the person driving behind me didn’t notice that I ripped off my hair while driving home.  That may have been shocking to see.  Then my head got really cold, so after finally getting a chance to scratch my head, I put it back on like it was a hat.  Weird, right?  My friends gave me lots of compliments and made me feel comfortable with it on.  One asked me if I feel like I’m undercover or in a disguise when I’m wearing it.  I hadn’t really thought about that, but it would be kind of cool.  I may begin to do that just for fun.  I’m thinking I’m going to need a cool undercover name and maybe an accent.  I’m going to work on that.  I’m also going to keep my sunglasses on wherever I go, wear a trench coat, and I don’t know why but I feel like I should also have a walkie talkie with me.  Will that be too much?

Looking on the Bright Side…not having a scarf on my head, means I can finally wear cute scarves around my neck again.  I haven’t been able to do that in a while!  I figured it would be scarf overkill to have one on my head and another one around my neck.  These are the things I have to think about now.

Before cancer hair

My after cancer "hair"

(you can't see it but there is a really akward patch of hair fuzz on the upper right hand corner of my head, that I can't bring myself to shave.)
