We enjoyed a thoughtful orientation meeting this morning at Kaiser. There were only two patients - Carolyn and anther woman who will start chemotherapy next week. The instructor was Sheerey, the advice nurse who sort of heads up the platoon of nurses who watch over the two infusion centers at the hospital. Sheerey had done her homework and had both women's notebook personallized with the chemicals they will be receiving, the potential side effects of each. She also went over the schedule, the process for signing in, and what is expected from the support person (driver).
This other woman in the class had recently visited a wig shop near the Sunrise Mall and had bought herself two wigs. Sheerey explained that both women would lose their hair 20 days following the first infusion. In order to be prepared for that event, Carolyn and I visited a wig shop up hear the Sunrise Mall. We not only visited but found 4 wigs that we really liked. Our budget isn't that big, though, so we walked away with only two of the wigs.
Here are the pictures of Carolyn with her new wigs. One picture is her natural hair and the other two are the fake ones. Let's see who can guess which picture is of Carolyn's real hair.
A.
B.
C.
Wow, those look great! I think the middle picture is the real hair, but honestly they all look good. You should buy a bunch of pretty scarves as well for the days you don't want a wig on.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for the middle being the "original." But I agree, it was hard to tell. I had to go back and study the recent pictures you have of Carolyn on your blog.
ReplyDeleteCarolyn, you look great and good luck!
I guess C.
ReplyDeleteI'd say B is real but any work! You could have chosen a blonde to spice things up a bit!
ReplyDeleteCarolyn,
ReplyDeleteYou are looking splendid! I miss you terribly and hope you are gearing up for your treatments! Thinking of you :)

I say B is Mom's hair but they all look good :)
ReplyDeleteI think A is her real hair - it's the bangs.
ReplyDeleteI think Kristi's right about getting a few scarves.
