They provide the laughter and hugs I need to keep my spirits high. Thank you all. It's quite a journey, and like Carine said, change is inevitable——it even brings out the best in us.

And then he added that when everything is going great, just wait because it will eventually change. Life is change. Fabulous, thick hair one minute, none the next. But, blessedly, this too will change. And if you can find a way to laugh, or at least smile through it often enough, that's probably the key to flowing along with the waves of change. You're obviously good at floating on those waves. Much healing waves of love to you, Cathy.

Move to the front of the line Ms. Fischer. Nice hat. While I am no fan of Breast Cancer, I am a fan of the long line

Better to have a sense of humor about these things than brush them under the rug. (Sorry, I can't help myself, Cathy. Wigs bring out the wag in me.) Does anyone else remember those hideous, shiny Dynel wigs that were advertised on 1960s TV with the tagline, "It's not fake anything; it's real Dynel." Dynel--whatever THAT was. Those Dynel wigs were actually pushed on ordinary housewives to pop onto their heads after a tough day of scrubbing toilets so that hubby would find them freshly coifed when he came home from the office. Can you imagine anything more uncomfortable than having a head full of sweaty hair with a plastic wig shoved on top? Bleah. We've come a long way, baby. Cathy, I love you, your writing and your spirit. Hang in there, girlfriend! Spring is just around the corner and as the Bay Area hills are come back to life with downy fuzz, so too will your pate.
