Chunk of hair

So one of the few things I remember directly after surgery was feeling like someone ripped a huge chunk of hair out of my head.  You know that feeling that you get that burns when your hair gets pulled out?  Well I remember saying this over and over again to everyone that came into the room (apparently I told Eric about 60 million times) well everyone just blew it off I guess they just chalked it up to me still being heavily sedated.  Ok fine.  So I told my nurse the next day that my head burned and that my arms hurt and she said that my arms hurt from the positioning, and just blew off the fact that my head hurt.  Told my night nurse that night along with every person I talked to.  Told the dr.’s still, no response to the head thing. Ok I figure I must just be being a big wimp and that must have been where my head was laying on my braid during surgery. Ok.  Suck it up trace.  So my sister was blow drying my hair on Saturday and she turns off the blow dryer and says “OH MY GOSH”. I couldn’t imagine what was wrong, did I have a tick in my head, was there some nasty zit back there and she grabs my camera and tells me to hold on.  She takes a pic and this is what it is.

That’s right people…it’s a large 3 inch section of my hair that got ripped out at some point during my surgery. I went in with my hair in a French braid and came out with my head hurting and my hair down. This next talk with my dr. Should be an interesting one.
