August 3rd

Some people have started to find the blogs concerning my hair transplant surgery and there are friends and family who are concerned about the condition of my face as evidenced by the pictures that appear with the blog.
I told everyone that there was little or no pain, but my face looks like I was just in a battle for my life. Here is the explanation...while you are having the donor strip removed from the back of your head you lie face down with your face in a hole in the head cushion similar to that used by a message therapist. My face, as evidenced by the pictures, is larger than the average sized face and most of the pressure of the weight of my head was placed squarely on my cheeks. As a result, the red blotches were a temporary condition and no, I was not beaten by the good Doctor.

I finished my prescribed antibiotics today. I carefully applied a little shampoo to the sides and back of my head avoiding any contact with the grafts. As promised the strange numbness on the top of my head is still noticeable and it continues to feel like I'm wearing a baseball cap even when I'm not. I get my stitches out on Thursday and I plan on going to see my Barber to see if he can do any magic to reduce the length of the sides and back so the short hairs on top are less pronounced.
