Foreshadow

Sometime in a phone conversation with a good friend I brought up that Alopecia was affecting me again and that I was losing some of my hair. Looking back there was so much foreshadowing in this conversation. I expressed how lucky I was to be a girl with long hair. A guy might have to shave all his hair to hide his bald spot, but I could easily cover it. Up until this point in my life Alopecia was really no big deal. I treated it more as a secret peculiarity than anything to be concerned with, but how does a woman deal with total hair loss? This would be something I would struggle with in the coming months.
