Arrrghhhhh my hair is falling out in buckets

[amymeri]

I knew my hair would fall out.  My surgery was so long (13+ hours) and I had lost some after each childbirth...so I expected it.

But it is really falling out. You can see my scalp!  It is awful. I know in the larger scheme it isn't the worst thing, but I definitely hate it.  Folks say it will grow back in 3-6 months...that feels like forever, and meanwhile I find it shedding all over the bathroom floor.

Aint it lovely...huge scar, balding, face paralyzed...I am quite a sight!

I remember finding hair all over the place but was too sick at the time to care.  I also didn't think I had a problem...sometimes it's nice being in your own little world! I do know that I'm 11 mos post op and you can't see my scar or know by my hair anything was wrong so it does grow back )  It's hell having bad hair days on top of everything else!
