The big reveal!

Last night I seriously considered going to our dinner party without my wig.  I had worn it all day and my head was itchy.  And more importantly, I just didn't really care about it anymore.  When I thought about it, I knew my friends certainly wouldn't care.  I'm surrounded by wonderful people and I'm not worried about how people are going to react to my bald head.  It did occur to me, however, that it might be hard on some of them at first.  It is shocking, even if expected.  It puts my illness in your face because there is no denying what I'm dealing with when there is such an obvious external sign of it.  So I decided that the best way to go about this was to post a picture of myself here.  This allows everyone the opportunity to see me in my bald glory in their own personal space.  If you want to laugh or cry or make funny faces, you can do that.  Then when you see me live and in person, it won't be a shock if I'm wearing a hat, a wig, a scarf, or nothing at all.  I think that will be easiest on us all.  I hope you agree! =)

So here you go.  A picture of me in all my baldness.  No hiding here!
