6. Hair Transplant 2 weeks on

December 28

Work is heavy in these few days because I am acting head of institution. There were loads of documents to read and approve.

Hair has grown a bit, and a picture may allow readers understand that they have grown about 1 cm. There is a small yellow/grey particle of dried skin on each hair, marking the place where the hair was placed level to the scalp skin at implantation on Dec 10.

Hair on recipient site. Note small grey dots of dried skin on the shaft of hair about 1 cm from skin.

The day is nothing special in the hair transplant event. But it is very special to my family and meself. Years ago, my most important person agreed to marry me. I am the luckiest person since she acceptd me. I was probably the ugliest duckling instead of any prince. We did not eat or do anything special this year. The day was long with work for both of us, demanding our efforts to resolve various issues presented to each of our desks. The family had a simple meal because our son has just returned from Thailand, and he wanted relatively plain food for dinner.

Pray that all couples are princes and princesses living happily thereafter, enjoying lives painted in fairy tales.

I spent the morning in church. I then spent 4 hours on cross trainer.

One Month

Peter changed concentration of Minoxidil to 5% about 2 weeks after I used the 2% preparation.

I asked Peter to consider whether we may need another session to handle the bald ‘circle’ on the top of my head, which still remained. Peter asked me to continue oral drug daily for 6 months. Some people grow back their hair simply on the drug and do not need to do anything. I am trying.

Readers may notice that I did not cut my hair, and my hair was relatively not tidy. I have no time to enjoy a hair cut yet. At turn of the year, I am bound down with many things in work.

7 weeks

Life went on busy as usual. The following pictures showed how my hair looked like at 7 weeks (January 28 2013).
