I wrote the following when I was on my way to the clinic and when I got there.

At the moment my mother and I are driving through New York. I have taken a break from driving and my mother has taken over control (obviously). At the moment, my mother and I are mainly concentrating on not getting lost along with listening to a Stephen King novel on tape. We went through extreme rain for most of the ride so far but it has calmed down so we are making better progress. I keep looking in the mirror at my hairline thinking about how there are going to be thousands of hairs in those bald spots and I just cannot believe it. I am not nervous about the actual surgery, what I am nervous about is the post-op swelling and possible discoloration in the face. Right now I just have to concentrate on getting to Canada. I will write more tonight when I get there.

Ok right now it is 1230 am and I just can’t sleep. I am way too nervous/excited to sleep. My mom is though! I can’t believe how many television channels are in French here! After a little surfing I found “Everybody Loves Raymond” and settled with that. I was relieved to find that the Map Quest directions were accurate and we make it here on one tank of gas! Alright I am gonna try closing my eyes right now, I gotta be there for 730 am!!!!!!

I just got home from Canada. I was planning on writing right after the procedure but I was just too “out of it.” I do have to say that Dr. Rahal and his staff were amazing. They were some of the friendliest people I have met in a long time. I told Dr. Rahal all of my concerns and he answered everyone of them. The procedure was probably from about 8:30/9:00 am until about 4 pm. I think that the hairline is at a really good location, not to low/not too high. The denisty is about 70 cm2 at the hairline and a little less behind the hairline. Check out the pics.
