day three....sister stand-off
since my unpleasant incedent on sunday with my little sister seeing my new short wig...and totally freaking out....we still haven't made communication. we usually talk every morning or at least once a day. we are both stubborn scorpios and i have cooled down conciderably after being told i look like Farrah Fawcett on chemo. now gosh darn...what if i took off the wig and showed her the barren plains of my cranium????? I'd have to have 911 on speed dial cause for surely she would have a stroke right there on her garage floor????????!!!!!!!!!
I think we both fear of adding more fuel to the fire if we speak too soon. she has been my best friend for years and her silence is disturbing.

i really should be the one to speak out. i just hate to keep hashing over this issue , i just want it to go away. i guess i just want my life to go back to normal but i dont think it ever will. i will try to pick up the phone in the morning when i usually would call her. she probably wont pick up the phone, we are stubborn Pollacks.......Thanks, Sue, i will call her in the morning. bk

Hello Scorpio's- can a Leo weigh in? :)
Brenda I'm sorry your sister was so insensitive - I do not understand her reaction. I am also very close to my sister and we also talk daily and I can put myself in your shoes- I probably would have burst into tears and then hit her upside the head!!!
I totally agree you should call your sister. Alopecia should not be allowed to take anything else from your life!!! You both are best friends and love each other- nothing is more important than that.
Good luck!! you've got another set of fingers crossed for you!

my fingers were paralyzed when i tried to pick up the phone... i thought about what Susan said, to wait until i have a reason to have to call her about something. my niece's birthday is next week and i have a card with cash for her, i will call and tell her i am dropping it off Sunday, if she chooses not to respond i will drop it in her mail box, but at least i made the first move. you are so right about not letting alopecia take anything else from me. i have to stop playing the victim. thank u ever so much! bk

i guess i should have been talking a long time ago to my family about this. as many, i hid the progression for quite sometime and now they havent a clue how bad it is. am i ever going to be able to just go natural in front of them if i get this kind of reaction from a short wig? i reall think she wasnt reacting so much to the wig as she was to my lack of lashes, brows, no makeup. i cant be in war-paint all the time. it scares me but we will work this out and if i have to go in full dress when i see her ( with a proper wig) i will have to. thanks Aimee and i hope things are well with you! bk

well one week later , i recieved a call from my sister. no apology, just an invitation for memmorial day. nothing will be said and life will go on. i will let this go and just move on. i must chose my batttles so to speak and one rude comment isnt worht losing the relationship i have with my dear little sister. i remember the one thing that one of you told me (thank you , Heather) i won't let Alopecia take anything else from me and i thank her for that.
