Yes! My wavey hair has turned curly?

Hello.

I am 12 days post-op and have just entered my puree diet phase. The L quadrant surgical pain has been a big challenge. Looking to see if there is a good bowel regimen to recommend? The need for pain medication, and the increase in protein (shakes) pre surgery and post to get up to the 60-80g per day has had a devastating effect on me with constipation. Especially when needing to bear down with a left side in so much pain and the post surgical gas in my shoulder blades, it has been very rough. At my 7 day post op visit my Dr. recommended I take Benefiber and Milk of Magnesia, but no "regimen" really, just read the boxes. Needless to say they are not working great. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,

Julie

I have fine short hair. I had 2 knee replacement surgeries. The first surgery was in 2012 at age 65 and I didn't notice much difference in my hair. Fine light brown (colored to blonde), some waves around the bangs area and not much grey. I had the 2nd surgery in Feb 2019 and have been fighting tight finger waves (like in the Roaring 20's) from ear to ear ever since, not to mention TONS of grey. In general, ALL of my hair is determined to wave and/or curl and using a flat iron only provides temporary results. It does seem like the waves and curls have gotten more intense with each passing year. I, too, have gotten straightening procedures but since the finger waves are so close to my scalp, it's difficult to start the straightening too close to my scalp due to the heat of the flat iron. Since I wear my hair short, the procedure doesn't last very long. I think the Egyptians had it right - shave your head and wear a wig! LOL.
