My last day with my hair.

Currently not all that curly, but still pretty filled with health.  Can I
embrace my new hair to look like my Dad's?

Things are happening very, very quickly here.  The last time I wrote a week ago, I talked about what I was doing next.  So here's the quick update:  on Friday, April 15, 2016--tomorrow--all my hair will be cut away.  And that's it--they aren't allowed to grow back.  Every couple of days, I'll have to shave it so that no hair can be there to keep my skin and blood from connecting with the Optune (here I'm showing a video of a guy with his Optune).

Oh, my hair.


Check it out!  MY FIRST YEAR AT CHARLESTON!  And Claire was
so cool that she went on a six-hour hair trip with me!  We're both so curled.
We look like cool sisters.  (Still the case.)

Catherine's hair looks different, as does mine.  I love my hair here. I love its
length, and its mild curls.  I love you, too, Catherine!


I have no idea where my Dad and I are (there seem to be
guns in the background!), but here we are:
my Dad makes a classical Lee Piepmeier scowl,
and my curly short hair.
So now I'm agreeing that it has gotten less hair.
I'm recovering from 
the radiation that took
some of my hair.
Maybelle's hair is straight.  Even when it's short, my hair is curly.  This
is a picture from two weeks ago.  Soon my hair won't look like this.

  1. I am just happy to hear from you! You will rock it without hair. Because you have the bone structure to pull if off! Kind of like Sinead O'Connor. Sending love and healing vibes, as always...Drue

  2. Ah, but think of all the possibilities for Halloween now! Kojak! Mr. Clean! Capt. Picard! Gru (from Despicable Me)! Ripley (in Alien 3)! Sinead O'Connor!

    Yeah, just looking for the silver lining here. I'm sorry you've got to cut off your hair. Knowing you, I expect you'll find a suitably creative response — er, not necessarily Halloween costumes. But... something!

    I hope that the Optune installment goes well. Thinking of you.

  3. How about Jean-Luc Picard from Star Trek? He's worth doing it.

  4. Alison: Yes! Or, rather: Make it so.
