Thoughts on being bald.

If all my hair falls out I won’t have to pluck all those stray ones on my chin or anywhere else.  

My son-in-law, Tim, says the next time he shaves his head it will be in honor of me.  He is mostly bald anyway so I will say he is already honoring my future baldness.

My brother-in-law wants to arm wrestle while I am taking steroids.  He is also bald so I will assume that is for me.

Had to give Teddy a bath again yesterday.  I don’t know where he finds stuff  (s#!t) to roll in.  I walked all around the backyard and couldn’t find anything.

I’ve been reading all the literature given to me at the doctor’s office.  One paper says avoid acetaminophen but another says use Tylenol only.  Acetaminophen and tylenol are the same thing.  One of the main side effects is bone and muscle pain.  Need to find out for sure what I can take for that. 

My friends have been suggesting that I get a tattoo on the back of my head.  Maybe something like “If you can read this I am bald”.  If there are any other suggestions let me know.  I’m not committing to this tattoo but it’s fun to think about.

Who knows, maybe there are age spots all over my scalp.  Yuck.  There is definitely a wig in my future.  Maybe a spikey red one.

Later….

A spiky red wig sounds very sassy and so appropriate!
