After that, we went to the Wig Shop - to try and find me the perfect wig before my hair falls out early/mid next week. Wig shops are horrendous places......I am sure that most of the wigs are designed to be worn by people aged 50+ that look something like Deidre from Coronation Street.......not really meant for someone like me with quite thin/flat hair. Anyway, luckily the girls were lovely and we had a laugh or too.
Not sure if this is "the" wig yet - I will have to drag poor Marc there early next week to get his opinion on the new do!
After that it was my 5th session of radiation - half way through!!! Still going really well - no side effects - and still not feeling a thing!
Then Penny popped over for some cheese and Pinot - we had a great time chatting. And then Mumsie made her delicious pasta for dinner - and we are now enjoying our last night together before she flys home tomorrow. I will be very sad to see her go, as we have had such a great time over the last 10 days - and really couldn't have done everything without her help - especially putting up with my manic moods from the steroids and multitudes of "to-do" lists and tasks to constantly check off - thanks for your patience Mumsie!
Marc is currently on his way home, so it will be lovely to see him tonight - and to spend a lovely relaxing weekend together - I have missed him a lot.

I would have loved to be in the wig shop with you !!!!All you fans thank Mumsie as well. And welcome home to Marc....no hotwater bottle tonight!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you've had a wonderful day Lou and keeping positive. Yes wig shopping is certainly an experience. I too found majority were for much older woman, and the volume of hair was insane, way too much. One wig i thought looked ok made me look like harpo marx, mwahahahhahahaha. But we had a good laugh about it. I made the experience into a fun day with friends and family as you have, need to keep a sense of humour about these things. I opted for a short and longer style wig for variety. And completely different to my long curly hair. The positives of this experience is i get to go through the process of different looks. Cant wait to see which one you choose this time. Keep smiling hun. :)
ReplyDeleteLike the other gals have said - wish I could have been there for the wig shopping! I'm sure you will find the right fit - and the beauty of the wig is...if you decide you don't like it or it's too short, you can always opt for a longer do .... unlike me when I chopped all my hair off super short! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAs Rose-Marie says - well done to you, Mumsie! We're all glad you can be there to help out through all the to-do lists and the eating expeditions!
