Update 7

The package from Sharpsinc arrived and it looks so easy to use.

Well, the hair is going now - it has been increasingly brittle and breakable. Now it is departing at a rapid rate. It won't be back.
When I finished the chemo last time, the hair grew back thick and much to my shock it came back curly. Now, I always had thick stick-straight hair - even perms didn't take, so I spent the 15 months always being a bit surprised when I saw my reflection.
I'll miss that.
So I took the shower I had put off for a couple of days (poor Gene didn't even comment about the funk) and It is gone - except for a few random patches. Radiation hair loss doesn't hurt at all - the chemo loss was a bit achy but this was nothing. Just poof!

But a girl that was part of my car pool to the University, has told me that we should punk it out - paint the scalp and I laughed out loud - I love that she saw that in me. She is a great kid, attending college against big odds - her family wants her to get a job instead. She is brave, smart, and a wonderful young woman. And I can always put the salt and pepper wig on when I want to pretend to be a nice old lady.
Wigs are hot in the summer here though - So I guess I had better find some non-toxic color - sun blocks? for designs.....I have on the red fuzzy chemo cap and Gene told me he really loves me as a redhead.

Gotta love that man.
