I made it one week. I'll take some more pics tomorrow. The transplanted area is begging to shampooed. I really want to run some warm water through my hair. The thought of massaging it is still frightening since it is still VERY tender and sore. It's starting to itch - even in the sore areas and especially around the stitches! Both my ears are "alive" and most of my scalp is, too. The piano exercise seems to have sped up the healing of my nerves.
Near the back of my head is the most sore and tender. That was to be expected. The top above my ears on either side is still numb lacking sensitivity. It's weird but it hurts to touch it even though all the feeling isn't there.
I went back to work today. I wore a scarf with my suit. How long will it be before someone starts questioning my repeated covering of my head? :-) I did not take any meds today even though I picked up my refill of vicodin today. That was a mistake. Even though the discomfort was bearable it made me sort of irritable and short patience with the staff.
Even though I may not take a vicodin tomorrow, I will take a mild pain reliever to get through the day as a more pleasant person.
