Paul, Days 1-24




Days 1 - 24:
2982 grafts- strip method.
The procedure itself was not bad at all. There were1500 grafts placed in the front and then the
rest continued on to the crown.I just felt like my head was fat and I
had a bit of a stiff neck from sitting there. No real pain. That night
was a little hard to sleep. Still didn't feel any pain. Followed the
post-op instructions. I had some swelling on my forehead and slight
bruising as well. That lasted for about the first week. I returned to
work five days later but only performed light duty. I scabbed up
pretty good also.
The stitches were out on the 12th day; It felt great to have them out. I experienced some shock loss
right around the 15th day. I started losing my scabs around
the 22nd day only because I wasn't using full pressure when I was
showering. I was a little paranoid I guess of ripping anything out.
I do recommend having short hair when having the procedure done. As
you can see from my pictures I do not. This is a bit of a hassle when
showering because of scabs getting caught up in it. It also looks
worse because of the shock loss, but that should hopefully be backin a
month or so from whatI understand. Now like Dr. Jones has said, I too am in the waiting
period. My head is still a little numb but that gets better everyday
and the scar itches. Other than that everything is fine up to this
point. The only thing I haven't returned to is playing hockey which I am doing this week. I'm a little worried about wearing a helmet.
