thanks for all the great responses...
knowing there are others out there who expereienced the same thing is comforting... i think...
as for the procedure, it was extremely simple.. i immediately fell asleep, woke up hours later.. no pain.. no real discomfort...
only mild discomfort was the itching on top (not so much around donor area) for the following 3 or 4 days... oh, and then there was the 'dead head' area that prompted me to start this dialogue...
had my 65 staples removed yesterday... no problems there either...
