Question to those who have had surgery

[Guest guest]

To all of you who have had surgery, could you please let me know your

thoughts on the following:

I am scheduled for surgery on January 28th and this may sound trivial,

but here goes: Were you able to lift your arms to utilize a hair

dryer? I'm not talking about the first few weeks, but shortly

thereafter, probably when you first wash your hair(which I'm told is

about two weeks post-op). I'm debating cutting my hair which is now

almost shoulder length. My thought was that it would be easier long

and be able to pull it back, but maybe just having it short would be

easier. Also, if arms are not able to lift, must all clothing be

button-down?

, I have a " mentor " in Edie and she has given me a wealth of

knowledge, particularly since I'm having surgery at the same hospital

as she did, but I wanted more than one opinion on this.

Thanks!
