Hello, I am Paty. I have had AA since 12 yrs old and I've definitely gotten use to the idea of not getting my hair back. Ive also lost my eyelashes and portions of my arm hair. I've learned to love myself with or without hair but I haven't shaved it completely in 10 yrs. Thank God we don't need it to survive =]
Hi Paty, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us and I look forward to your input. Cheryl, co-founder
Hi Paty, Thanks for the invite! I don't know where Melbourne is located but I have an inherited home in Crystal River (Gulf) which I rarely visit (and therefore not a resident Floridian). My sister's husband died while she was living in Wisconsin and it seemed like a nice time for her to try southern living. Then, one year later, she introduced me to this fellow who had lost his wife...now there are 2 people and 1 dog in the home:).
I truly enjoyed your message about the brave little girl. At the NAAF conferences, there are bald little heads filling the rooms, elevators, halls, and swimming pool, with big smiles on the faces...all so excited to be among their new friends. It's hilarious watching them dancing together on the last night of the conference. Hugs, Susan
Hiya Paty - ta for the friend add! How's tricks in Florida? Just looked at your pix, and it must be weird there, having to live horizontally most of the time... :)
You're right saying we don't need hair to survive - actually, come to think of it, what DO we need it for (other than something to make hairdressers rich)?? :)
