Maybe we should all wear one & you start a new craze!<br />I guess with any new adventures there are drawbacks. At least getting the wig tangled up in your own garden was in private & no harm came to the wig or your ego! I hope that never happens to you for your sake.<br />It has brought back memories when hubby lost his hat after chemo. His hat blew off showing his bald head whilst going around a circuit on a steam train. People were very good & quickly came to retrieve it & hubby took it very light-heartedly beaming with a big smile on his face.<br />You will become very experienced at ducking from the overhead twigs & branches as you walk past.<br />Thinking of you at your pre-assessment visit today before chemo tomorrow.<br />All my love Debs xxxxDebbie Drewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13300992858197923209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-11278054209124275812010-01-29T01:38:59.349+00:002010-01-29T01:38:59.349+00:00You made me laugh too!

Running back to rescue it, and finding out that a bird has already got designs for a nest. LOL!<br /><br />It's good to laugh and you are one tough cookie. I also have that same "stubborn streak" as you and will ignore body aches and pains. I don't think for one minute that's a wrong attitude.<br /><br />Oh I do remember those days - I used to allow my 5 year old to take a bus to kindergaarten alone. It was a city bus too! I do shudder at that memory. I used to leave my children home alone too sometimes when they had a school holiday and I was at work. The oldest one took care of the little ones. The youngest must have been 4 or thereabouts. I'd never leave a baby alone. But somehow they all survived and learned responsibility too. <br /><br />Fresh air - absolutely! I think we grannies all did that with our children - even in winter.<br /><br />Sending you warm hugs for your chemo and I'm glad you can post and make us smile a bit.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14788733654505792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-31000758698155882752010-01-28T19:22:09.485+00:002010-01-28T19:22:09.485+00:00In the city, we walk everywhere.

Your attitude is hanging in there and for that I'm happy. And you must take a picture of you in the wig, if even from the back!!!<br /><br />On a side note, I wish my Clemantis would grow!!!!!

Mind you, more painful with real hair I think!<br /><br />Glad you have those "good" days and that you also choose to wear a scarf when you feel you need to. It is important to give people those non verbal clues. They don't know what you're feeling inside and you might not feel like saying it, but a non verbal clue sets the scene and you're looked after then. <br />I know what you mean about not looking forward to the next one but not wanting to miss it. Strange hotch potch of emotions.<br /><br />Take care Maggie. hugs. xxxThumbelinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16797968670320215838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-83822634732114009982010-01-27T08:21:12.267+00:002010-01-27T08:21:12.267+00:00My MIL had a wig when she had cancer.. she loved t...My MIL had a wig when she had cancer.. she loved that wig because she finally had the hair she always wished for!<br /><br />Here in Sweden kids sleep out in prams at minus 20 C - no problem!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3573997081449536840.post-59768698192313117902010-01-27T06:46:33.903+00:002010-01-27T06:46:33.903+00:00I admire your beautiful spirit and find it so insp...I admire your beautiful spirit and find it so inspiring, and your sense of humor is wonderful!

You could really use that knowledge, as you say, wear the headscarf when you're feeling weak and wear the wig when you're feeling well. <br /><br />I had a colleague who wore wigs when going through treatment for cancer and I thought she looked fabulous!

So glad you have lovely friends to go with.<br /><br />Isn't it strange how people make decisions on sight, quite interesting for you to experience both almost at once.<br /><br />Make the most of looking younger while you can!!<br /><br />Nearly halfway through, yay!

Around here, rain in January and February tends to be a bit on the "Too cold" side for my old joints to appreciate the much needed exercise in the end. But I have been trying to keep up a good bit with the walking on other days, even in the snow and blowing wind -that doesn't bother my arthritic old joints near as much as does the rain.<br />And look at you now -almost half-way through the chemo regimen! So true about the fun thing, isn't it? Oh and I too got a big chuckle out of the vision in my mind's eye of you grappling with the twigs and the wig! Too funny.Jenihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16425701332785470116noreply@blogger.com
