Thanks for the advice techproof. It has been almost a week now and I have shampooed my head three times thus far by just patting my head and scalp. I will start a gentle shampooing in the next day or two.
DaveOne said:Some strip docs say that ice can slow down the natural draining of all of the fluids that get injected to numb the recipient area. There is no real way to get around the swelling, the fluids have to drain away somehow. The best way to expedite this is to sleep in the angled position that most people talk about. Sleeping prone will force the fluid to collect around the eyes, thus taking longer to drain, but if you sleep more upright, the fluid can just follow gravity and work it's way down. Listen to the docs advice, he should have very specific instructions for your post op. Good luck.
