After itching for the past few days I decided to have Chris cut my hair as short as possible.....so today I am bald!
It is amazing how cold it is when you don't have hair!! Thanks to Mary and Ruth for cheering me on and discovering that I only have one scar on my head and that I do have "stork bites". I don't think that I have ever been bald! According to mom I was born a headful of hair!
Now I will have to experiment and see what I prefer: wigs, hats, or scarves?!! Thanks to the Skyline Student Body I will have a collection of hats because they have organized a hat contest to collect hats for me! Thanks again for all the love and support...hopefully the weather will warm up so I won't be so cold!!!

Jolene, you are lookin' good! That is very touching that the HS is collecting hats for you. Lets me know how loved you are.
Who would have thought we would ever see you without hair? You really pulled off the look. If you go with wigs you could be blonde one day and red the next - that could be fun!
Jolene, I just had to comment on your blog after I talked to my SIL who just started chemo last week. She said someone had sent her a card that had this on it.
A lady had been having chemo and had lost most of her hair.
One day she looked in the mirror and she counted three hairs on her head. She thought cool ---- three hairs ----- I'll braid my hair today. The next day she counted two --- "nice" she thought, "I'll part my hair down the middle today." The next day she counted one hair. She said to herself, "I know exactly what I will do with my hair today, I'll put it in a ponytail." The next day she looked in the mirror and had no hair. "This is better than ever, I have no hair so I don't have to mess with it." Optimism is such a wonderful tool in dealing with trials in our lives. You are the queen of optimism and I'm proud of you. Love Ya, Siri
Hi Jolene, I just love reading your blog and being inspired by your positive outlook and optimism. You have such a cute personality. It has really been interesting and inspiring and thank you so much for sharing this journey with us. I think a sense of humor is so important in life, and it is so refreshing to read your blog and see that yours is strong and active. We continue to pray for you and your family and know you are in our thoughts...Love, Marcia Bluth
Mom I'm glad you are so positive with everything we're going through. I know if you weren't so positive and happy, I wouldn't be. So thanks. I love you!
