Hairless

Well, here's another blog, this one is going to be a little bit shorter I guess.

A month or so ago I got my wig, which already mentioned in other blogs, and I still got my real hair beneath it.
A week after I got my wig I got a feeling that I would feel even better if I would shave my hair.
So I told my dad, and he got a trimmer the next day. That evening we just trimmed it.

I must say it wasn't too easy to see all the hair I had falling before my eyes. But I just kept thinking of how much better I would feel. When my dad was finished I took a look in the miror, it was so strange to see myself without hair. I've had long hair all my life and now it was gone. I got good reactions on how I look without hair, that's a relief too!
My girlfriend didn't know what to think of it at first, but now she's used to it already which is good. My girlfriend is a real help to my acceptance of AA.

I'm glad I did it! And I like it too, I can have long hair and be bald in one minute, haha.

Yeah that's right! Bald in summer, long hair in the winter, haha.

Congrats! Glad to hear you are feeling good about it. I also started wearing wigs about a month ago, as my hair is still coming out pretty severely, and have been debating with myself on shaving the remaining hair to make the wig wearing more comfortable. I'm now planning on doing the shave on NY Eve, thinking I'll ring in the new year with a new me! :o)

That's great Lionel.
I am sure your girlfriend would like you not matter what. It is good that she has given you lots of support.
Yes you can decide what 'look' to want each day.
I suppose deciding to shave is like taking control which is a good feeling.
