You got it Bill I sure will continue to keep up the progress. I started a blog and will update it soon. I noticed theres not as many pics on donor area w/ and w/o staples. I believe the importance of this issue is sometimes over looked. I did check out some other web logs to see how the scabs look like and I must say I am pretty lucky from what I saw, not to say there was any bad ones that I saw. Dr. Shapiro did do an amazing job. I was freaking out for nothing. That little scab (on the right) was the worst of it and my girlfriend got it off for me (got off) . Thats 4 days post op. Trying to upload pic but says file is too big how do I fix that so I can up load my pic on this thread?

You guys were right once again two days later no bleeding! I shouldn't stress... Thanks again

Thanx guys. Well I ditched the Karate Kid head band cause the son of a gun just kept bleeding (i guess i never let it dry up by always adding pressure and icing). So i just put a few paper towels under my head and played Madden 08 all night, I love that game. this morning I have a huge crusty clot, but hay its finally stopped and for now no more bleeding. Cant wait to take a shower to relieve the pressure in the back of my head!

are=area on last post sorry on the pain meds

Wow its like an honor to get the two big "dogs" of this site to help me thanks a ton. I went there the next day for the wash and the doc looked at everything again said it looked great and clean and even added another staple to make sure things are "tightened up". From talking to Matt, the doc, and everyone that works there I was very comforatble with everything. This scab (hopefully it is) has a slow drip for the last three hours or so. I have a dressing on it and i kind of made myself a karate kid headband to hold light pressure on it. Its not a large amount of blood but it is still there. B spot i will be sharing pics at a later time. I am sure I'll bother someone to show me how later. But I am taking pictures daily. Not enough donor are pics from people, I ll try to start a trend, just kidding.

Thanks Bill I'll have to check it out. I really hope thats all it is. Can you recall roughly how many days it took for the bleeding to stop in your case? Thanx

Hey guys I have been a silent member for this site for about a year now. Everyone here has made a world of diffrence for me getting an HT. I am 3 days post op and i still am spotting from one area in my donor staples. Dr. Ron Shapiro performed my HT and so far I couldn't be more pleased (besides the blood spotting). I talked to Jenna and she said if it lasts longer than 5 days post op to call back. Any experinces you guys and gals can share would be great, please tell me I am just over reacting. Once again everyone on this site I am thankful for.
