I took a week off from work and a week off from wearing my wig. It felt absolutely great. Took a trip down the Oregon coast, ate in restaurants, went to the movies all without my wig. I did wear a scarf while I was out and about and am hoping that one of these days I will feel comfortable enough to go without that as well. There were the occasional looks but I just put a big smile on my face and always got one right back.
This group is such an inspiration to me and I am so glad that I have found all of you. I don't think I would of ever gotten to this point of acceptance without all of you.
I got my eyebrows re-tattooed today. After I was done me and my husband went out to dinner. After dinner while we were in the car driving home I pulled down my visor to look in the mirror to see how my eyebrows looked. I had to laugh - here they were oozing - what a sight I must of been in the restuarant - scarf on head and oozing eyebrows :-) . I'll need to get another touch-up in a month to make the hair lines, once there done I'll post some photo's of the before and after.
Acceptance is a wonderful thing.

Thanks, Mary and Cheryl! It is thanks to people like you and this site that I am becoming more and more comfortable with my true self. And to read stories like yours is so inspiring, I think, if you can do it, so can I!
I agree 100% with what Jenna said.
