Mother's Hair

Being off work today, I stopped by Mother's after picking up my antibiotic. She was sitting in her rocker, totally sans hair! Well, very few little whispies here and there. I have one thing to say: she has a good-looking head! I told her it was time to try on the wig. She said she would only if Kim (a caregiver) would help. I ran to get it while she called. Kim and I fitted the little skull cap onto her, and then stretched the wig over and just messed with it a little. It is a very pretty color on her, a little lighter than on the form. I saw a smile of approval when she looked in the mirror. I told her that she needed to name it, and she laughed. But she came up with the name of KJ...KimJoan, and was pleased with that. She said that she would wear it to lunch and HAVE to listen to all the comments.

I did notice that she did not move from her chair the entire time I was there. That is unusual for her.

But I think she is happy with the wig. Just a few little trimmings here and there.
