March 2nd 2011 - Post Day 5
Post Day 5 and no real pain at all. The donor site stings a little on occasion, but the pain meds sort that out pretty fast. Sleeping is more awkward now than painful, can't wait for the staples to be removed on Monday!
Last night I shaved off all my hair! I was so sick of it looking ridiculous being all different lengths, and had always wondered what it would look like so just went for it. Afterwards I was pleasantly surprised as I thought it looked quite cool lol,... other than the Frankenstein staples though! I had visions of looking like a potato, but it really wasn't so bad. I'll post some pics if I can get them off of my phone. I sent them to a friend of mine who said she thought it really suited me (not the Frankenstein look, the shaved head look lol). Who knows, maybe I'll not care about the crown once the front grows in,......ah who am I trying to kid!
I'm still in NY and have done a fair amount of travelling around since I'm bored of sitting in the hotel room all the time. I've been by train into Manhattan and various shopping malls. All good except now I may need to buy another case to get it all home!
I think I'm healing very well. I'm washing the hair daily all over, and even soaked the donor area in the bath last night and washed it gently with a sponge. I also started putting aloe vera and witch hazel gel on the donor area to help it heal. It stings a little, but in a good way so I know it's doing it's thing. I can see my native hair growing back which adds to the density of the grafts really nicely. I just wish it didn't have to fall out before it all comes back again! I'm prepared though....
Ok, now to try and sort out the pics.
