Day 2 - Post Transplant

I woke up around 5am. The ambien really knocked me out and I slept through the whole night. I slept at angle, still not laying down flat. When I got up I noticed more of my head was "alive". Not aching or in pain but definitely tender to the touch.

I immediately took a vicodin! Gotta love those.... Anyhoo, I came back to the bed and slept until about 7:30. When I looked at my head and scalp it still looks very swollen and fluid filled. I cannot feel my scalp. It is very numb as if from head trauma. I thought it would be like going to the dentist and then wear off but it is still very numb with my neck and lower ears alive and sore. Sort of weird since I can touch my hair and know that I am touching it, but I can't really "feel" it. I ocassionally feel some heaviness and pressure but not long enough to do anything about it. It must not be affecting my brain since I am not experiencing any "fogginess" in my thinking.

The transplanted area looks like little black dots since the redness has disappeared. I can manipulate my hair for 3 days so I am still looking like Kizzie on crack. Tomorrow is Christmas so know that I will be rocking a serious head scarf.
