My head still hurts from the stitches and still feels like pressure.
Similar to that of a bandage around my head.
Feeling good though. My headwash this morning went well. Felt good to more intensely scrub the wounds.
I'm realizing that my recovery time is going to take longer than 7 days. The special medical shampoo says 3-4 weeks. The forums suggest 1.5 to 2 months. I just want my head to stop hurting and then I'll go from there.
It's not debilitating but it is exhausting. I went to the grocery store at 7pm yesterday and want to fall asleep from fatigue. I'm not used to be so lethargic and incapable. We have 3 kids, i'm used to running around with energy. It's frustrating to me to not be able to help my wife as much as I used to be able to.
I might still be a little blue from all this; can't tell if it's the drugs in my system winding down, the whole experience, or just genuine post trauma stress.
It'll be fine, I know this, but I want to get back to my life again. Facebook, movies, good cooking, and my kids have really been my driving force so far in not feeling insane.
My wife keeps beckoning me to stop doing so much, but it's hard not to.
Started to notice some grafts falling out. No blood. Just looks like a hair with a piece of skin on it.
It's normal supposedly.

Here's a picture of my head.
