Heads up!

What will I look like with no hair? Pretty much exactly like this!

I get to shave my head next week. I’ve always wondered what I’d look like if I were bald. Now, thanks to my upcoming DBS surgery, I get to find out. But honestly, looking at this photo of my dad and my two brothers, I don’t think it’s going to be much of a surprise.

It’s not just us with the ‘Wade’ head. Pretty much every niece, nephew, great-niece, great-nephew, cousin, and second cousin that I have ever met - we all have that forehead and the giant round skull.

My real hope is that there will be time for another picture like this one, with bald me included. Given my surgery and the nature of winter travel, and my dad’s tremendous fatigue associated with the failure of his bone marrow to produce blood cells due to his MDS, we are not all gathering for Christmas this year. Perhaps in early January, we can pull it off, a get a photo of all four of us with our big bald Wade heads.
