Administrators Melvin- Admin Posted March 19, 2020 Administrators Share Posted March 19, 2020 So we’ve been quarantined, I’m usually out and about going to the gym, out to eat, etc. I’m definitely not a Netflix and do nothing type of guy.

Senior Member Shera Posted March 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Hi Melvin, I've been busy digging a moat around my house, barricading all entrances, designing and building a home made water cannon and a flame thrower. Armoring my vehicles, the old A Team series provides many DIY lessons for this. Teaching the wife and kids killer martial arts moves. Watching Charlton Heston in the Omega Man, Will Smith in I am Legend, Contagion and World War Z on repeat. Digging up the lawn and cultivating the garden with various seeds. Apart from that, just chilling. Joking aside, hope you guys all stay safe!! Edited March 19, 2020 by Shera 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member Future Hair Doc Posted March 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2020 (edited) Catching up on some much needed sleep. Going out for runs since the gyms are all closed. Studying as usual and watching TV. Hanging out with my dog.

Senior Member Tao Posted March 19, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 19, 2020 I fortunately timed my HT perfectly (by pure dumb luck I had it on March 9). I have a shaved head and look pretty weird right now but since I'm working at home, its the perfect time to be isolated. Miss being out in society with friends though. This is tough for extroverts. But I know how fortunate and privileged I am as the suffering that is rippling through the world will be (and is right now) tragic and unbearable. 2 My Hairloss/Transplant Website: http://www.hairtransplantnetwork.com/blog/home-page.asp?WebID=1772 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Al - Moderator Posted March 19, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 19, 2020 My company closed for at least two weeks and I'm getting paid for the time off. I been getting things done around the house that I been wanting to do for a long time. Did some yard work, put up a shelf in my laundry room, and cleaning out all my closets and drawers throwing out a lot of junk and trash.

First FUE after two previous FUTs. FUE was much much easier recovery (no pain and no meds whatsoever needed after surgery). That's the good. The bad is the need for having my head to be shaved. When Dr. Konior did my first two FUT surgeries, the recovery and pain was longer and I had metal staples in my head for awhile. However, they were all covered up with existing hair and after a week, no one could ever tell I ever had anything done. Not really the case now. But the timing is good for sure and I'm definitely not complaining.

Do a home workout. Pushups with varying arm spacing (arms in close to your body and then a set with arms far apart), sit ups, running in place with high leg lifts, jumping squats, etc. It's good to do something different for a while than you usually do at the gym anyway. It's something your body isn't used to and you use muscles a bit differently. Al Forum Moderator (formerly BeHappy) I am a forum moderator for hairrestorationnetwork.com.

Senior Member pkipling Posted March 24, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 24, 2020 I've created my own little home gym using some dumbbells and am having to really be disciplined to make myself use them. Going to the gym was so much easier, so this is an opportunity to create new habits. I'm also using the time to do a lot of things I used to put off because of "lack of time" - and given that I now have a surplus of it, I don't have anymore excuses! Making the most out of it and choosing to let this forward me. I am a patient advocate for Dr. Parsa Mohebi in Los Angeles, CA. My views/opinions are my own and don't necessarily reflect the opinions of Dr. Mohebi and his staff.

Senior Member Mountinvan Posted March 25, 2020 Senior Member Share Posted March 25, 2020 I wonder whether HT surgeons will offer post-virus specials to try to make up for lost surgeries during crisis?
