On the second side of the form there was some legal jargon about getting permission from my doctor before starting any of their physical activity programs, etc. I handed her the form and said I didn't need to sign it because I wasn't joining any programs. She said I needed to sign it as a formality, that these surveys are used to gather information to write grants. And if I came back to the facility in the future this form would be on file. I sighed again and said "Okay." I then asked if there were any other places that might have a cap to wear with scarves. She gave me directions to a wig shop around the corner.
I don't even want to go into the condescending tone I had to deal with. The clerk suggested that I use double sided tape to hold my scarf in place! I tried on some hats and she finally said, "We have some tape you could try." Then proceeded to cut two pieces which I stuck to my forehead and secured the scarf. I said, "I'd like a roll of that."
The clerk said, "I don't have a roll but can sell you some."
"Great. And I'll buy this terry night cap."
"That will be $19.38."
The tape bothered me all afternoon. When I got home I took it off along with some of what little hair I had.
I was going to decorate the Bingo hall for our Holiday Pancake Breakfast that night and put on a cotton scarf which stayed on much better. I wore another cotton scarf to the event on Saturday and had no problem with losing the head gear.
I searched a couple of online stores for chemo patients today and ordered 3 different caps, hats and cotton scarves. Problem solved!
I told Richard this can be my birthday present. I will let you know how the caps work with all the silky scarves my sister gave me.
