When my wife got breast cancer 20 years ago, she shaved her head before chemo to prevent seeing her hair fall. I did too ahead of her to get our young kids used to it. She got a wig too, but she looked so great bold that she ended going out and to work as bold as an eagle. Best to you.
Pallavi, enjoyed this very much, it’s all true, and also think of how good for the hands all that endless dialling would have been. No carpal tunnel syndrome.
My family didn’t have a landline for quite a while ( they were in some Soviet style queue for one) and one of the “social skills” my siblings and I were forced to learn was reluctantly ringing neighbours’ doorbells and bracing ourselves to ask if we could use their phone to make an urgent telephone call to a relative/friend on behalf of our parents. Nice wig but I have a feeling you will pick somit thing trendier.
Enjoyed reading, Pallavi! Brought back lots of memories. I also grew up in an India where the phone was a privilege. My dad got promoted to a post where one of his perks was a phone. That is how at the age of 17, i got access to a phone but because it was in the hall and my mom was around in the kitchen, i couldn't make all the calls i wanted. Later we got an extension into one of the bedrooms and that is when I got the privacy to call!
All the best with your recovery. The wig might have a Tirupati connection though!

I plan on wigs, turbans, hats and going bald and bold as the mood strikes 🤗

Have enjoyed your writing over the years. Wishing you a speedy recovery!
Thank you!
