I am a bit peeved he stapled the dressing to my scalp.
The other options were probably shave more hair to use tape, or to use a wrap all the way around your head... Did he at least numb it first or something?
Glad you are recovering well and you have some awesome people around you! [emoji846]
The braids look very pretty. [emoji846]
And don't worry, I'm sure you're still smarter than I am.
Not a very high bar but it's something. [emoji6]
Very glad to hear you are doing better!

Glad to see that you are recovering nicely. Sorry for missing all of the excitement, geez, can't even take a little break from the forums without all Hades breaking loose.
Has hubby started calling you zipper head yet?

OMG, I will say it again, OMG, I had no idea what you were going through. And I have been tending to my new knee which is absolutely Sissy thinking and nothing compared to what you went through. OMG again. First of all I would like to say you are beautiful, in more ways than one. Second of all.
OK I got nothing, but I wish I knew you were in the hospital.
I am so glad you didn't listen to the people that would have told you to dip your head in fresh water and soak it in Prizapro and you went to a real doctor instead.
I mean, I probably could have done the surgery but you would have been speaking Latin when you woke up so you did the right thing.
I am praying for you and know you will come out better than you ever were. Keep posting, even if you are unconscious from pain pills, glue gun your fingers to the keyboard.
Hang in there.

I still do not think stapling the dressing is a good option. I am still salty. I am gonna try to let it go...lol.

I had a thing holding my head still during surgery. It was screwed to my head to immobilize my head. It had a screw and a small incision that did not get sutured closed. It was glued. The glue has come undone. It is very sore and gonna scar.

Topical vitamin E lotion (not oral) should help a lot with new scarring. Apply a small amount twice a day *after* it is closed up.I had a thing holding my head still during surgery.

He probably realized you would try to let the bandage go which is why he stapled it to your head in the first place!
Wouldn't expect anything less from a Reefer.
And I thought that only happened to my frags. They just don't make glue like they used to.
Haha, yeah, and the metal is a bit irritating to the skin. On animals we do stay sutures, basically single loop of suture sticks out so we can weave roll gauze between them to apply a bandage to weird places. Think tied like shoe string holding it down.
But we do staple down fentanyl patches, and they have to wear a cone of shame.
Dont get too salty, your incision will burn!
