Thanks! Good to hear there is a Wpg group.

Hi Jenn, thanks for accept the friend request. I like this site and I send you an e-mail I wish you read it and I wrote my story. Warm wishes, Noon.

Hi Jennifer,

Thanks so much for the warm welcome! It has been such an emotional struggle these past few months and finally I have found a site where there are people who truly understand what my daughter and our family are going through. I hope to find a support group in Ottawa, Ontario and will keep looking.

Take care,
Marilea

Hi! How fun! :)

Take care!

Hi Jennifer, thank you so much, you look very happy at your photos :)
How are you?

Thanks Jennifer! We'll have to meet someday!

Hi Jenn not heard for awhile seems you doing Ok Pat and I are well or will be after I finish this Election on Saturday, although I have now been asked to run for local government, just seeing whats on offer. To think this was supposed to be retirement. My daughter and I are doing a trip the too of to Thailand bonding tour. Stay frosty

Hi Jennifer!
Thank you for the warm welcome! I am definitely enjoying Winnipeg's amazing spring weather, and thank goodness it has come early! I honestly have no idea how i randomly just stumbled upon the group..or this website, but I think it's amazing that there is a support group out there..wish I knew about this earlier! Do you guys still meet once a month?

As for decorating skills, my mom would probably be the best person for that as I am nowhere compared to her skills..if you need a cake for your daughter's birthday we can definitely help you out (facebook.com/sugarbloomsandcakes).

Its so nice to know im not alone with this. Before I found out what I had I was just a mess. My husband was so helpful with all that was going on he came to all my appointments with me and help me though a lot. But its nice to know there are other people like me who know what I am going through and I like the fact that we can all help each other get through the hard times and laugh at all the good :) well I just heard the baby wake up so you have a great weekend and hopefully it will be a little warmer tomorrow

Hi Jenn,

Thanks for the msg :) I have just started on this site I am so happy I found it too there is only one other person I know that has Alopecia so it is nice to find support. I always cheer on the Jets I am so glad we have them back :D I hope this day is finding you well talk to you soon

Thanks Jennifer! Would you be interested in comparing notes about how you are organizing in Winnipeg, with what we are doing in Vancouver? I have this vision - as I noted on the Canadian discussion board - of many of us from across the country, working together - and with CANAAF - to develop our local groups. : )

Hi Jennifer, Thank you for the kind comment on my photo! I'm still getting used to the whole "vacuum" style wig.. Did it take you a long time to get adjusted? I can't seem to perfect the right fit on my head each time. It can be quite the struggle sometimes! Very frustrating, sometimes I can't even imagine having to move a lot in it or put a hat on because it would mess with the suction! Any advice you could give would be help SO much! Your hair looks amazing, im so jealous! Your photos are beautiful!

Thanks for your lovely comments.

Hi Jennifer,

We are heading to Winnipeg for Isabella's appt on Thurs at 12:20 p.m.. We are staying at the Canad Inn on Pembina. Can email me at pennycarpenter@knet.ca if you are available to meet or here. Sorry would of contacted sooner, but, my time just flys :)

Hi Jennifer! Thank you so much for talking to Jim @ CANAAF about my situation! I just emailed him (my mom was visiting for the past few days, so I didn't see your message until now).

I really appreciate the help and support!

And by the way, you are absolutely gorgeous! :)

thanks for the comment on my profile pic. so weird my sister is going thru chemo and losing her hair. she totally gets what i go thru except hers will come back.

I just need to trust the experts from Freedom and my rep. it's just nerve wracking when you spend so much money - and so, you want it to look just like "yourself" not like a "wig".
Thanks for your positive comments.

I am excited for the vacuum but nervous too. I will get my gripper next week and i'm nervous about it also. Guess, i just want it to look like me and not too much contrast from my synthetic wig. I just don't want to draw attention if it looks too different. I will send pics of my gripper and vacuum when i get it.
