So I saw the Doctor today about getting some work done, perhaps to lower my hairline. No sooner than I sat down he points to the Norwood chart.."That's you right there son" I sat nervous, listening intently as his forefinger thumped on the Norwood Chart of Doom. Slowly, gazing upwards, I was surprised to see he was pointing to a Norwood 2. I sighed in disbelief as he said for a man of 42 years on this earth, it was no uncommon to be classified at that progression. I told him I thought I was a Norwood 3 and he said that my temples have not receded far enough near or at equal length/measurement to my ear lobe. Than he showed me photos and work hes done on Norwood 3. He examined my hairline and asked my what nationality I was. I told him Native American. He said I had the classic receding of Hispanic and Native American folks in that it tends to recede evenly and symmetrically backward as opposed to a pronounced inward recession. I told him I think its pronounced enough that I have to shave a bit off the front. Then he said its not that serious that I need to get graphs just yet and to give it a few more (I have to cuss) f*****g bitching hot damned years!!! WTF! Man I want a lower hairline! Then he examined my crown and cervex and said it was getting a bit thin and thought I should use propecia. I told him no. I need to study more on it first. Man I will be 45 by the time I get a hair transplant. By then who knows where I will be on the Norwood scale. My wife says she dont care how I look. I know I am not 25 or 30. My kids are grown and out of the house, and I want to treat myself and I have to wait a few more years. By then will I even give a sh*t anymore!
