i still haven't seen my incision. i was told that i was given dissolvable stitches but there is a dressing on it (stapled to my head so that it stays on) so i can't see it. can't wait to take a picture of it when it comes off.

Never seen a double zipper.  You are special  :)   My dr measured mine.  It was 13 1/2 inches long.  
I had staples in my back, just stitches in the head.  It's not bad at all getting them out...  Get some rest.

Wow, Girlie! I didn't have staples either =/ I know it sounds weird, but I kinda wanted them. LOL. I was able to take my dressing off the night I had surgery. There hasn't been any oozing or anything. It is just pretty swollen.. My throat and jaw still hurt really bad and my hands, wrist, neck and feet are really bruised from the IV lines. I had an allergic reaction to the anti nausea patch so I am not using those anymore. I have a nice little rash on my jaw.. It doesn't itch at all.. It just hurts to the touch. I don't know about any of you, but I am so happy that I came home with my walker. It makes walking SOOO much easier!

I am really thankful for the staples...they don't hurt and I was able to get all the gunk out of my hair lol.  I have been able to shower since day 2.  I just can't scrub zipper and water is too flow from top of my head not pointed at it.  Krystal my brides are crazy too because the veins kept blowing...hate that.  He said two cuts top was harvest of muscle for dura patch and bottom is decompression he said oly cuts what he has to lol.  I gues that left an inch in the middle.  I met a man that had short hair and had surgery a couple years back and his hair looked great no weird hair part or change in hair growth direction so that is nice.
