Moms View Message Board: General Discussion: Archive April 2008: Head scarves
I need to get some head scarves for post surgery. I have looked online but haven't really seen anything I like, and the price ranges are crazy 11.99 to more than $50, Does anyone know of good sites for this?
Could you use regular scarves? I must have missed something, but I recently had surgery myself, so I've been preoccupied. What are you having done, if you don't mind my asking?
brain and spine surgery. They are shaving the back of my head. The scar is anywhere between 5-9 inches long, I will look like a zipperhead for a while. I want to cover it, because I know it's going to scare my youngest.
Several on ebay
Colette, you are going through so much. Simple bandanas in bright colors would be cute for the summer time. I used to wear them as a kid and my dd's are staring to wear them now
Oh, another thought. Buy some white material or cheap pillow cases, cut down to a scarf size and tie-dye them with your kids. You can all wear them! I'm sure the kids would love to support you and this would be a fun activity for them to help you.
Hobby Lobby sells squares of fabric, that are cute and only 87 cents. They work well for bandannas for my dog! LOL! I'm not sure how well they would fit a n adult's head, though. They seem pretty big on Jasmine, though.
You can try this site:
The beaubeaus are adorable!
Collette - I had no idea that you were going to have surgery. Good grief, girl, you have been through SO much!! I think of you often, and you will definitely be in my prayers and thoughts in the coming months of recovery. I guess I missed that, also. I feel badly that I didn't know. When will this take place, and if you care to share with us..why are you having to have this surgery?
I posted a bit ago about it. I have a "chiari 1 malformation w/syringomyelia" - which in a nutshell is my brain is to big for my head and so part of my brain is pushing into my spinal column which has also created a cyst. I have apparently had it all my life, I knew about it in 1993, but was told various times to monitor it and that if I didn't have any symptoms, I wouldn't. I just started getting symptoms last month - although minor - went to Boston and they recommended surgery. So I go to Mass General on May 7 for this. The symptoms are more prevelant now, mostly feels like someone is on my back pushing my shoulders down all day - it doesn't hurt, but it is tiring. Also had the headache from he** the other day after jogging so I think that's from it as well.
Colette, when is your surgery date?? I know it's soon.............
Colette, just wanted to give you a ((HUG)).
May 7th is surgery. The neurosurgeon said 5 days in the hospital post surgery and longer than that 1-2 weeks before I can shower...YUCK! Honestly, I wish it was tomorrow, I just want to get it over with.
It isn't just the staples. I think because they are working with your spine and brain, that you can't shower, because one day after both of my c--sections, I got to shower.
you were lucky! I was 2-3 days after my sections.
Got a bedbath the first morning after, but the next day I was in the shower.
It's not *just* the staples, you cannot risk bacteria entering your spinal canal through the incision. I couldn't get my back wet when I had staples in my back. We found a way around that, but being that you are having brain surgery, I wouldn't risk it.
Yeah, Karen said better, what I was trying to say! LOL! Bacteria in the spinal canal would be a bad thing!

when we come home from the beach/pool and their hair is messy. They wrap up the back of their heads and tie a knot at the top of the head.
