    Retha, I'm doing well, still trying to adjust to my new do..I haven't taken the step of stepping outside without my wig yet. I'm not completely bald just yet either. I know how you feel even though I just shaved mines down, I'm wondering when and if I'll be ready to take that next step and shave it completely bald. I guess I have to feel comfortable enough to walk out in public without the wig first. I know that I do want to take the next step of shaving it bald, I'm just not sure when. Are you ready to take the next step and shave it completely bald? How do you know when you're ready?

    Retha, Thanks. I'm getting used to it. However, I do feel FREE!!! I completely shaved my head shortly after I gave myself the buzz cut, so I've had some time to adjust to it.
