It's already day 10, and I'm surprised how much easier it has been than I expected. There is almost no discomfort, and I feel like I can manage my daily life without any major issues. I had 3,500 grafts done non-incisionally this time, and compared to my initial worries, it seems to have turned out pretty well overall. I even think it might have been fine to do it a bit sooner instead of putting it off any longer. Right now, I'm just in the stage of taking good care of my hair and waiting, but I'm really looking forward to it growing out quickly so I can try a proper pomade style sometime, haha.
