I have never been very good at styling my hair, but now I have the perfect excuse - it's because I had pacemaker surgery! LOL

Take care,

Tendonitis

You've probably got tendonitis in that left arm, on the way to a frozen shoulder. I'm in the same boat. Can you move your arm behind your back with your elbow bent? Does it hurt to fasten your bra?

I can still do my hair but with difficulty as I try to hold my blow dryer with my left hand and use the brush in the right.

My hair stylist told me about no rinse shampoo. She said it helps remove the medicine off the hair. I buy it from Sally's Beauty Supply. Just lather it in then towel dry hair. Hope it helps.

Not uncommon.

All will eventually be well!

glad to hear

thank you all for responding to my "hair". i have been on the road to our home in canada so this is a late note. glad to know this mess might get better! i can manage a quick blow dry but my hair is much drier, coarser, and more unruly than usual. (i generally sport the messy look anyway :) ah, the least of my worries. 6 weeks out and progressing nicely! amen.
