Day 19: Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow
So the expected has occurred. Richard's hair is falling out. Here a little, there a little. Some in the sink, some in the shower, a lot on the pillow. Finally, I'm not the one clogging up the shower drain.
Richard's scalp looks a bit mottled at the moment, so he's planning to have his head shaved tonight or tomorrow. It's the look du jour: bald and beautiful (smooth and handsome?).
At least there are no small children to alarm with Richard's new look. When the children were very young, Richard sported a big beard (remember the days?). One day he shaved it off, and our daughters wouldn't go near the New Scary Man for at least a day.
Thing we appreciated today: Cool breezes, clean catheters, and calm before the storm.

I may not be a "small child" but it still may alarm me :)Maybe I should bring a Yankess hat back when I visit :) ..

Well, when your hair comes back in - wait for the surprise! Our nephew has lost his hair 3-4 times with his treatments, and his hair has come back curly, or red, or dark - you may not get to choose your 'new' look, but you have something interesting to look forward to!
Thinking of you from far away,

Bald is beautiful! Telle Savalas! Yule Brenner! And the best thing is you won't look like Mel Gibson any more. These days looking like him isn't a good thing. --Your Favorite Sister
Shiloh has a blonde 70s afro wig you can borrow if you ever get tired of a bald head... Now THAT would be the New Scary Man.
Glad Aunt Robin isn't the only one clogging the drain anymore--what an embarrassing household role.
Love you guys!
You're JUST NOW shaving your head after all these years? Nathan's been shaving his head for 7 years. Keep up!! :)
Love you guys,
Rhonda
