Well you probably shouldn't use the C card at all but sometimes it does come in handy.
What is the "C" card you ask......? It is using your disease to pull rank on others or even to gain some special treatment. Is that wrong? Yes it is but sometimes it just happens. Not having hair makes this so much easier too. You really don't have to say or ask for much, it just pretty much happens. Here a few things that you could get if you play the "C" card;
Get seated faster in a resteraunt
Get moved to the front of the line in a crowded bathroom
Get moved to the front of the line at Disneyland rides
Get some one to carry your bags in from the car
Get your spouse to take you or pay for amazing vacation trips(Thank you honey)
Get to eat whatever you want in between treatments
Get people to open doors for you
I know there are more but I just can't think of any right now. Don't think of your disease as a burden, think of it as a bonus and be thankful you don't have to wait in that long bathroom line any more.
Just kidding, but I have noticed a little bit of a difference in the way people react to me when I am not wearing my wig....which is quite often. I tend to forget I have no hair and I will be out and about and notice people kind of looking at me. Then I suddenly remember.... oh yeah I don't have any hair. It has never never bothered me though. I am not sure I will ever have a full head of hair again and that's okay. I have been looking at some other wigs just to spice it up a bit. Don't be surprised if we meet for lunch and I am a sassy red head. I really have learned to love the freedom of no hair. I have kind of gotten of the subject but I have to tell you to funnies about the hair thing.
First, My BFF Suz and I were eating at Kona Grill. We were out on the patio and there was quite a breeze blowing. Suz was messing with her hair and rifeling through her purse. Then all of a sudden she starts laughing, and mean a hard laugh. She finally is able to speak and says" I was going to ask you if you had an extra hair tie" Well we both cracked up.
Second, Suz and I were driving up in Payson and we had the windows down. I could feel the wind on my face and my head. For a brief moment I had a thought that I need to put the window up a little because I didn't want to mess up my hair. I made myself giggle.
It is important to find joy in everything you do and everything you are. Have a great day and be blessed and be a blessing. It feels great at either end.
I think you would look awesome as a sassy red head!
