Day 57
July 1, 2005

It's Friday and an end to a very long and hard week.
Shock effect really starting to pass now and feeling bristle under my hair - the hair is coming back :)
Day 58
July 2, 2005

A pretty relaxed and chilled out Saturday with a nice night at the pub to finish off.
Day 59
July 3, 2005

Added some bromide spray to my scalp before bed as feeling a couple of lumps coming through - think I might have caught them just in time.
Off to Athens tomorrow for a 4 day break to see the clinic on business - I'm helping out with their media for a few weeks - that's what I do best :)
Looking forward to the holiday :)
Day 60
July 4, 2005

Arrived in Athens with my good mate Brian.
Had a lovely meal at the local taverna and looking forward to a few days rest in the sun around my good friends.
Day 61
July 5, 2005

A wonderful and informative day in surgery.
I was a spectator for a transplant and I witnessed the whole procedure from start to finish. WOW!!
I am still speechless with the professionalism, skill and how many people are involved in the whole operation.
Amazing is the only word I can use to sum it up!
Day 62
July 6, 2005

A great day in the sun meeting some interesting people and eating well. It's really weird being in Athens and not having anything done!
Day 63
July 7, 2005

Flew back to the UK and arrived after a long wait due to the problems in London.
My thoughts go out to all those who were effected by the disgusting terrorist attacks.
God Bless x
Day 64
July 8, 2005

Added some bromine (Savlon) spray to the front of my head as I had to burst a couple of cysts.
Should be clear by tomorrow
Day 65
July 9, 2005

Still getting a few cysts on top but they're easy to deal with.
Had a great party around the neighbours house - it's amazing as this happens every year - last year I was bald!
Day 66
July 10, 2005

What a fantastic lazy Sunday...nice!
Hair still great although had a huge cyst on top which was pretty nasty. Thank goodness after I burst it, it cleared up within an hour!
Day 67
July 11, 2005

Well, well, well. Here come the blond hairs on top - noticed in the mirror this morning 1000's of little blond shoots. I'm well on the way to getting back my full head of hair.
One happy chappie I am!
Day 68
July 12, 2005

Not much to report today apart from the blond hairs are getting darker - it is almost like a copycat of my first procedure!
Day 69
July 13, 2005

Hair is still looking good and healthy. Really starting to keep fit, eat healthy and drink sensibly at weekends. I'm even going to give up smoking!
Blimey, what us guys have to do to have a great head of hair :)
Day 70
July 14, 2005

Not much to report today.
Feeling great about my hair and my confidence is creeping ever higher!
Day 71
July 15, 2005

Thank goodness its Friday - the end of a long week!!
Hair is really starting to surprise me - seems to be getting thicker!
Getting a few ugly spots which are annoying - exactly the same happened this time last procedure so at least I know it completely normal.
Day 72
July 16, 2005

A really weird Saturday - the day I gave up smoking. Actually, it wasn't too bad whatsoever as I used a hypnotherapy cd last night.
I genually feel as though I have never smoked!
Day 73
July 17, 2005

Now using no product at all on my hair as it is really starting to thicken up - just take a look at this picture - this is after a night out at the local so it's me at my complete natural state ;)
Day 74
July 18, 2005

Monday morning and a busy week planned.
Thank goodness all is great up on top :)
Day 75
July 19, 2005

Another long day in Manchester but enjoying the pressure...especially when my confidence is soaring due to my hair - it's a shame I've started smoking again though!
Day 76
July 20, 2005

A stressed day working from home - a billion things to do so only a short entry.
All is great up top by the way.
Day 77
July 21, 2005

Had a haircut today - things really starting to move on top and the hair is definately coming through, in fact, the hair on my temples is almost a centimetre long!
Day 78
July 22, 2005

It's Friday!!!!!!!
Had a good night out after a long a difficult week. I genuinely do not even think about my hair when I'm out now, I just can't imagine how I'm going to be when it all grows through and I have a whacky hairstyle!
Scar is almost invisible at the back now - this is with a very short hairstyle and probably the last time I get my hair cut this short at the back. Time to start growing it me thinks!
Day 79
July 23, 2005

Sprayed a little Iodine spray on my head (orange/yellow) to try and shift some of these spots. Craig recommended the spray to me and it has always worked a treat in the past.
Day 80
July 24, 2005

What a lovely lazy Sunday. Mmmmmmmmmmmmm
Day 81
July 25, 2005

Hair is well and truly coming through, just needs to thicked up a little and settle down over the next couple of months.
I am VERY VERY happy
Day 82
July 26, 2005

Busy busy busy day at work.
Starting to prepare for my trip to Athens next week to shoot a documentary. How exciting is that!!!!
Day 83
July 27, 2005

Another manic day at work but all is great here in sunny Shropshire.
Hair looking great and really staring to thicken up. Only a couple more months to go until I can get my wacky hairstyles back!
Day 84
July 28, 2005
 
Another stress filled day but put into perspective due to my hair coming through
Day 85
July 29, 2005

Busy busy busy but a nice relaxed evening at the local.
Had a good chat with US Pharmacies regarding Dutasteride. In the first couple of months of taking it, it could cause some shedding which means:
My hair is thinner due to shock, Dutasteride and waiting for the new transplanted hairs to grow. HOW HAIRY AM I GOING TO BE!!!!
Day 86
July 30, 2005

Spending the day at a family gathering, haven't seen some of my family for a long time so could be interesting to see their reaction :)
Day 87
July 31, 2005

Busy day planning for my Athens trip next week. I can't wait for a week in the sun.
Feeling OK but very tired. Hair is getting better everyday!
