Hi Joyce, Yep that is my Hubby, he had a major receding hairline when we met about 32 yrs ago, and has since lost most all but the bottom of back & sides. He usually keeps it short or completely shaved in the summer. My husband says he liked my hair, but it was so thin and getting thinner day by day I just couldn't do the comb over that some of my "friends" make jokes about anymore!!! My derm recommended I go to a Wig shop, and I was told by the ladies there I didn't have enough for a topper or fall. Our son was to be married in about a month, and there was no way I was going to try to have some half hazard attempt to cover my bald crown and left side....so I shaved the rest off, and have been wearing wigs since. It has been a Roller Coaster of emotions for sure!I know what you mean about being able to actually talk to someone, I do not know anyone/female personally, just online...although I did go to a support group in Indianapolis yesterday for the 1st time. It was so nice to meet others ladies and I am looking forward to going again. I just wish I didn't have to drive over an hour and a half to be with them! Maybe there is a support group near you? If there is I would recommend going!!!
