Hair Cut and wig

  This is Kurt, who cut my hair last Wednesday.  Notice the smiley faces covering the mirror - I was not Brave Heart that day. Anton, Kurt's father, is fro Austria. It was he who taught Kurt about wig-making, and Anton looks right out of the Heidi movie; he didn't wear lederhosen, but you could easily picture him in them. And he still  had a beautiful accent.

Kurt and his father run Anton's Hair Company. Primarily, they do cranial prothesis' (wigs) for chemo patients. We had quite a talk the day he cut my hair. The history of how far we have come dealing with chemo and how a patient feels about him/herself affects the road to recovery is fascinating. My sister, who took me - I'd NEVER been able to do this alone - have totally admiration these two men for their commitment to people like me and Lori Sportelli. Two women came I to make appointments while we were there and at least another called.

And yet, Kurt worked into the night so we could get on the road as  early as possible Thursday and I would not have to wait for the mail to deliver me back my hair (and piece of my identity). Angels on earth these guys are!!

The CP is my safety net, and I know some people will need to see be wear it - but Mark and I are kind of liking the buzz cut. I now understand why so many guys do it. I never wear a hat around the house, although I never go out without one...yet.  I've about decided I may adopt a Camille Cosby, Sinead O'Connor look - big fat Alicia Keyes ethnic earrings, scarves, and buzz cut even when the chemo lets the hair grow back.

Maybe

Thank you again. I never grow tired of your comments, your texts, and all your prayers and karmic wishes are soo, so appreciated. Love to you all!
