Back to Business

Two weeks ago yesterday, I checked myself into the ER, and by the end of that day, I had surgery on my shunt to flush out a clog. That flush didn't work, so a day later (2 weeks ago today), another surgery was done to temporarily externalize the shunt
This new scar is taking some getting used to for me.
This week, I am starting to feel more "human" again, and even doing my hair. The thing I love about doing my hair is that I am able to keep my long hair without causing extra pain.
Today, I ended up riding Lyft across town to pick up a rental car, & joked with the driver about my "fashion statement" of a quarter of my head being shaved.
I still put my hair in a bun for at night. It stays in all night, without falling out, and without causing pain.
This morning, I braided my own hair for the first time since coming home from the hospital. 
Clearly, my braided up-down could use some more practice, but it didn't hurt. It's not heavy, and the Flexi Clip doesn't push or pull on the tender incision. Because of this, I am able to keep my long hair. If you are looking for a less painful way to style your hair, contact me. I would love to help you out.
