Great story about the things peolple think when you are bald. Two and a
half years ago I went thru it also.  I find myself trying to explain why
my hair style has changed to people . Then I think why explain.
Sometimes I just want to forget about what happened but, I know you
can't. Alive and well in cold New York. Looking forward to a well
deserved trip to FRANCE fEb 1st to 9th with just my husband.
