I couldn't be outside with them
My neuropathy made it impossible.
Face and hands would have contorted in the cold, causing me pain.

Right after David shaved [most of] my hair. Andrew cried because he liked my long hair and was shocked to see me with hardly any hair at all. As you can see from this photo, he soon got over it.

Yucko. I hate egg-shaped head. LOL!

I'm not supposed to go bald. Thin, maybe, but this is ridiculous!
After a month, David ended up shaving ALL of my hair -- like a cue ball.
