I think that football practice has already started for most teams. But there's an even more telling sign of fall for me.
The first follicles of autumn float to the ground. As I rub my head, hair magically separates from my scalp and wisps to the ground -- brown hair, gray hair, fine hair. My hair was an old friend, leaving me now for the first time.
I have a follicular lymphoma, so having my follicles fall seems fitting. I was hoping to put off this development one more week. Just another sign of the effects of old Mr. Tumor and his chemotherapy pursuers.
I am ahead of this development. I bought two baseball caps at Wal-mart yesterday. No one will notice I'm bald if I wear a ball cap!
If I get ear rings, I might look like Mr. Clean.
Ball caps yes -- do you need a Dallas Cowboys one, or maybe VaTech -- but NO earring(s)! Glad you're feeling better:)
