Last week I was upset about losing my hair. It was really tough when it first started coming out. By the end of the week, I was so grossed out by all of the shedding that I decided it was time. Saturday afternoon with friends and chocolate martinis, I got my first & hopefully only buzz cut. My friend, Johnene was the lucky one who got to cut & shave all my hair off. I think she was more nervous about it than I was. It actually looks ok, feels a little strange though. The only problem is all of the gray hair!!!! If it wasn't going to fall out, I'd have to get it colored! Of course with Alyssa rubbing my head all the time, I'm sure I'll be bald by the end of the week!
Thanks to Terry and my friends for a great weekend. This was just one more reminder of what great friends we have!
I learned two things this weekend. My head will look ok bald and I totally suck at guitar hero!

I was nervous, but now I'm going into business. I'm going to hang a barber pole out by your garage, okay?
Traci what a beautiful face you have. Seriously you look great. Women get so caught up in their hair sometimes we forget whats underneath. What a great friend you have. No worries I suck at guitar hero too. It's pure entertainment for my kids to watch me play. Stay strong. Thnking of you often. Heidi

Hi Tracie,
I have been following your blog since I learned about it, and have to say, that I am really impressed with your positivity and humor and general strength with which you are battling your disease! You are awesome!!!!! Keep it up!
But honestly, I am moved to leave a comment this time, because I think you look great with your head shaved! Seriously! There aren't very many people in this world that can even do SHORT hair, let alone a buzz cut! You look beautiful! I hope you like it as much as we all do!
Stay strong--sending you lots of well wishes.

Hi Tracie, you are looking terrific bald! Glad to hear you have such awesome friends-and family too of course-out there at your side. Know that so many are sending good thoughts and prayers your way from Illinois! Keep that wonderful attitude and don't worry, more practice and you will "ROCK" on guitar hero! We'll be thinking of you!- Kathy
Wow, you look great. You're giving Sinead O'Conner a run her money. I'm glad Alyssa is enjoyong it :). I'm sure the head rubs feel good. You may just decide to stick with the do, besides I'm sure it's much easier to take care. Think of all the money you're saving on hair product!
We're thinking of you, and it's okay to be a couch potato, I give into it quite often, and I don't have a good excuse.
