Day 6 - Post Transplant

Experiment was a failure! I woke up a few hours later in pain and not able to sleep. I guess the healing of a fresh hair transplant is too much for tylenol PM. During the middle of the night I got up and popped a vicodin. About 20 minutes later my discomfort subsided and I was able to fall asleep.

When I got up for church I was feeling pretty good, so I didn't take another pain med. I had already decided to wear scarves for the next few weeks with every outfit so getting dressed was simplified tremendously. If I don't have a scarf to match it, I can't wear it.

My eyelids are even more puffy and swollen. I still made up my face pretty and pulled it together. Surprising, several church members complemented me on looking so pretty! I kept feeling like I "looked sick" but no one seemed to notice.

A member came to hug me from the back and squeezed near the back of my head by default. I nearly jumped out of my skin. My head and scalp are very tender and sore in places.

Tonight I will definitely go back to the vicodin. I noticed I only have 2 left. Thank goodness my doctor gave me a prescription with a refill.
