My Hair Gets Too Much Attention

Tonight was scout night. I took my son to his weekly meeting and tried to blend into the background reading my book. Near the end of the meeting, one of the fathers of a scout in my son's patrol spotted me and came over to say 'hi'. I also knew he wanted to discuss carpooling for a camp his son and mine were going to this weekend. As he approached, he became all excited over my hair. "Wow, just look at you! Got yourself a new hairdo. Working on a younger look?", he chuckled.  Wow, did I feel uncomfortable. But I pulled myself together, smiled and said "Yeah, it's a new look. And how how are you doing this evening? Let's work out the carpool details for this weekend." I needed a quick change of subject to get the focus off me and my hair. Yikes! I have no plans to tell everybody that knows me that I've had cancer and I'm doing chemotherapy. The scouts and parents don't really need to know. I just want to look and feel normal. But I sure was a bit flustered tonight when my hair grabbed all the focus. I guess it's a good thing that it looked real to this gentleman, but will it look real when it never grows out or changes in any way?  I suppose my secret will eventually get out in time. Hopefully by then, the chemotherapy treatments will be over and I will be starting to grow some hair under the wig. Maybe.
