Little did I know then that this would be followed by the loss of most, if not all, of the other hair on my body! <BR/><BR/>So, I learned that we cannot apply falsh eyelashes to our eyelids without something for them to attach to; i.e., some hair, I guess; ... so I spent that hairless time with shaded glasses, drawing eyebrows by pencil (how awful!), and wearing sunglasses. ... and, of course, the requisite wig. Ah, what a burden to be concerned with one's visual appearance, as had been my history; ... that was short-lived, and I readily accepted the changes I would live with.<BR/><BR/>one of many interesting side effects (interesting???) was the loss of hair in the nose (ah, isn't that a charming visual??). Without the normal nose hair, whatever might have caused a 'runny nose' had nothing to stop the "drip." I found myself needing a tissue continually (sometimes without the understanding of those around me, as I was still at the school).<BR/><BR/>0kay, so we did not need to shave our legs, right!? And wearing sunglasses is not so bad, eh? <BR/><BR/>But what if I offer to send some of the homemade buttermilk biscuits that your mom liked ??? Will that allow you to smile and remember our Gunnison childhood?<BR/>I love you, Judy,<BR/>Melody McKinney CatanAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11279195034176168611noreply@blogger.com
