My hairdresser, the fabulous Barbara James, gifted me with a haircut this morning. I’d decided I’d rather be shorn than greeted by big clumps of curls on my pillow each morning. Patti Ballaz, a friend who is a pro shooter, documented the event.

The haircut didn’t make me cry, but the donation of time and effort by my two friends did.

Thanks, Ladies!

    Contrats — you look great. Two weeks after my first chemo treatment when my hair started coming out big time, I made called up my son and daughter in law, we went to lunch at my favorite Mexican restaurant, and they shaved my head! I left their home festively wearing a red bandana headscarf. They took a picture, said I looked like Kenny Chesney and we had a good laugh. Enjoy your new “do”. Here in Phoenix, I never even wore a wig beacuse my chemo ended in July and it was just too darned hot. It grew back, darker, chemo curls and all.
