Hair

All the women I know - and a lot of men, too - are obsessed with their hair. I would like to think that because my hair came back thin, and with a mind of its own, it was a chemo after-effect. I wish. It's genetics, just as it was in my 20s when I started going really gray. I haven't seen the real color of my hair since I was a sophomore in high school, but I'm guessing it pretty much matches... y'know. Truth is, after chemo my hair didn't come back the way it used to be because it started falling out around menopause. I realize my mother had the same problem, although she was far to vain to admit it. So I'm thinking extensions. I don't give up easily. On the other hand, I looked really good bald. So here's my final take on hair: if I have to go through chemo again, I'll go bald right away. In the meantime, I'm getting into cool hats.

Musings are more than appropriate on this site. Great ideas come out of thoughts like "what if?" Put it out there!
