Got 2500 and some changes grafts today!

Thanks guys. I am on day 3 post op. Yesterday I screwed up while watching TV, I inadvertently went to scratch the front top. Once I touched it I realized what I was doing because it is still real sore. I looked in the mirror and it does not look like I pulled any follicles out.

I had my first shower last night. I was very gently just blotting it with a wash cloth and baby shampoo.

The back is sensitive especially after waking up and sleeping on it.

For now I am sleeping on my lazy boy chair. They say you should keep you head elevated for 5 days. I will do it longer. The way I sleep, I will end up rubbing so I don't want to take a chance.

The doc called me yesterday to see how I was doing. He warned me that at around day 3 I might start seeing swelling of the forehead and under the eyes, but not to freak out and it would go away. So far, no swelling. I am taking the prednisone steroids to avoid the swelling. I have two more pills left.

I am going to call the clinic today to make an appointment for staple removal which occurs at day 12, and for laser treatment.

I will get the pics up soon.

One last thing. I am very happy so far that I did the procedure. I still cannot believe I actually went through with it. I am looking forward to having a nice set of hair again!
