LF,

BaldING folks have tips too-- they usually go first for warmth because you will not believe how much heat loss your scalp can generate.

The good news-- you will be burning a boatload of calories due to that. Yep, a weight-loss furnace.

The bad news-- in warmer weather the sensation is kinda neat but in cold weather it's painful-- so you may go hats now, scarves for spring, henna or other art for summer (if chemo goes that long or for the use of others who may read this).

The other bad news-- sugar/insulin adj.

SLEEPING in hats-- oh yes, bedtime can be cooooollllld. Ya wanna loose hat that pulls way down, seams in the right places for your sleeping position; ya want a variety of weights and textures. "Sallies" is our "pilot" source to see what we are going to like enough to pay for retail versions.

The book-- I only saw one copy there.

In your travels if you see a yellow store bag like the boxy, reusable bags all the stores have-- later tonight you'll see why we've been looking for one or two. Color-coded songbook totes.
