I Wouldn't Have the Guts to...

"I wouldn't have the guts to get a haircut like yours. I just couldn't chop off all my hair like that. It looks good on you though."

That is what the lady at the optician's office said to me when I picked up my new glasses this week.  She kept going on about how she was going for a haircut that night, but that she was sure all her wrinkles would show up more if she had that little hair.

Should I have explained that this was regrowth after chemo and not a haircut at all?  Or should I have just thanked her?  I didn't know what to do, so I just sat there smiling at her while she adjusted my new frames.

The good news is that I think this means that my hair no longer looks like a Medical Emergency. 

I guess now my hair just looks like a Bad Decision or a Serious Fashion Mistake. Or maybe it looks like my hairdresser decided to really give me my money's worth.

I'll ask Lou to take a picture so you can see my hair and my new glasses.  Check back tomorrow...

some people just open their mouth and put their foot in to it....lack of common sense comes in all types...you should have sweetly made her feel like a dummy...:) then maybe she would think before she spoke...:)
