Hi, how have you been? Me crazy with life and work. Hope all is well. ?????for you
does your head get little white hairs, and then some odd patterned black areas, ? does it stay or grow, or change in pattern?

Hey there, sorry I have not been on in so long,. life has been crazy. I now have lost my eyelashes & eyebrows, ugh that sucks worse than the hair, cause there is no eyebrow wigs LOL . Did you go to convention???????????? Do you know where it is next year?

How have you been??????? take care

How is it going???? How is the puppy? Mine are trying to find a cool place in the house.

Hi Annette,

I'm new to this site and I'm just learning how to navigate through it. I see you sent me a message that you were interested in the support group in Seattle. I'll keep you posted when they have the next meeting. I think it will be in the Fall sometime. Yes, I do occasionally get up North for work. How about you, do you ever head South for any reason?

Take care

Hey Annette, sorry I have been absent. Did you make it to conference? I could not, maybe next year. How have you been? work? I bought a couple new wigs a little shorter and lighter, still the real ones. I will update my pic soon
take care have a great day. Denise

Hi Annette! Thanks for the comments on my tattoos. I love them! Good luck if you decide to get some too. The hard part for me wasn't deciding if I was going to get them, but figuring out what to get and finding a really good artist!

Hi Annette, Congrats on the new puppy. How old is the new puppy? You just gotta love those rescue dogs - both of mine were rescues, the fuzzy one is Samson , he is almost 11 but a young 11. Our girl (first one) is Hera she is almost 2. She is a handful, probably because she is way to smart. Not that our boy isn't it's just that he is lazy so teaching him any tricks is like a waste of time - he gives the look like are you crazy. The picure with the dogs was taken on Whidby Island last year. They have a great off-leash dog beach there. The ones with me were taken on the Oregon coast. So, I can keep talking about my dogs all day :-) they are my kids and so YES they are very much spoiled.
This rain is really starting to get depressing. Were the heck is spring?

Hi Annette, Looking forward to talking to you - I'm in Tacoma not that far away from you.

Annette, I am so glad to hear that you will be coming to Alopeciapalooza. We had a great time last year. Is there any spacific questions that you have? I grew up on the eastern side of Washington State.
Ellie

Hi Annette,

I am happy to answer any questions for you. I think you will have a fabulous time Alopeciapalooza. I run CAP meeting in Mass. It is a rewarding experience to be able to bring kids and their families. Please let me know how I can help. Cindy

Hey Annette, sorry for the late response. I ordered my hair through personalhairtherapies.com. The gal's name is Amber. I haven't received it yet so I'd wait until you see what my experience is like. It's taking longer than expected. Long story but hopefully I will have it this April. I'm excited about it. I believe the lace wig is just what I need with my lifestyle. I'm more concerned about comfort and sleeping in it. This is all new to me so I guess you live and ya learn.

Hey Annette, thanks for the add. It's so nice to have this site at your fingertips. I learned just a few days ago a few tricks that have been helping me to move forward. I've been doing well with the hand I was dealt. My family and friends are life savers. Any who, if you ever want to talk wigs, let me in. I purchased a full lace and cannot wait for it's arrival. I figure if I can wear what's on my head now then lace will be the way to go. I hear they are a bit more "breathable" for lack of a better word. How have you been dealing? How quickly did the totalis take place if you don't mind I ask? AU was a shocker for me, taking it all in just 6 months. I'd only lost a quarter size of hair just once before so I certainly did not expect this. Just another curve ball I suppose.

Hi Ann,
A big thank you for your lovely words It sure does help . I hope I get to where I feel okay with the thoughts of me losing my hair. I have some still but not so much on the top. It is getting harder every day. Oh course my doctor said it is from Memopause. HUH I never thought you could lose this much that way. I have had stress about 3 m o nths ago lose someone very close to me. So maybe that is what it is from I don't know. But I do know it is not the same I had it colored and it didn't seem to help just made it worst I think . So I will have to get into the wigs one of these days. I will have to order one close to what I have not . most of them have to much hair for me. Too big like back in the 70's not sure I like those look to fake I like your is the picture it looks nice on you. I will check in here alot for the help with this.. Thanks again.

Hey there, How was your day??????????? mine great day off today. talk to you soon Denise

Thank you! It's very nice to meet you!

Hey Annette ,
Sorry I have been working lately. Yes, shift work, You asked if I work at the Hospital, yes, but thru the MInistry Of Health. I am an Ambulance dispatcher. We do the medical help with the pt on the phone till the medics arrive, & also track all the ambulance's & fire rescue vehicles. It is very cool, a little high stress at times, but very rewarding. & I work with an amazing group of people.
I am still thinking of attending, I have to wait till the vacation requests get put in about the 2nd wk of March, to see if I can get the time. But keep me posted if you are def going. we can go thru our first conference together, maybe? If that is good with you. What do you do at the hospital? Talk to you soon. Denise Have a great day.
