Day 16 of Rahal (+Review of Rahal)

I'm Sergey who is still suffering from jet lag.ㅠㅠ겠습니다 I will write down the reviews of the surgery that I delayed because it was annoying to help others.

1. Incheon =>Tokyo
I paid for the flight ticket for about 1.2 million won on the tour, and I think I made a reservation 40 days before departure. If you make a reservation in advance, you will be able to get a ticket at a cheaper price. We departed for Tokyo Narita Airlines at 11:20 a.m. on the 16th by Korean Air. Maybe because it's a short-distance route, the plane model isn't very good.

2. Tokyo => Toronto
When I arrived in Japan, it was about 1:30 p.m. I went to McDonald's because I was so hungry, but when I thought about it, there was no yen;;; So when I exchanged 10,000 won, they gave me 650 yen. I had no choice but to eat the cheapest burger set at McDonald's for 650 yen. Now that I think about it, I should have paid with my credit card
And there is a paid shower facility at Narita Airport (I think it was about 6~7,000 won in Korean money). I boarded a flight to Toronto at 5 p.m. The plane was Air Canada, but the in-flight facilities were pretty good. All the seats have touch screens. I flew 12 hours and arrived at 3 p.m. Canadian time.

3. immigration in Toronto
I had to go through immigration to transfer to a Canadian domestic flight bound for Ottawa. By the way, the employee who was in charge of me was a young Canadian woman, and it was quite tricky. And there seems to be no Korean interpretation. I answered a few words in short English, but I'm asking you a question in a very negative tone. "Have you ever been detained at the police station?" "Do you have bad intentions?" and so on. And suddenly, he asked for my bag, and he touched this and that, and he looked at the sun and sun. I was so embarrassed at that moment that I thought I should avoid the crisis, so I showed the invitation to the judge. Then I suddenly called Dr. Rahal's number. But I couldn't get through on the phone, so I was forced to sit in the corner and be detained for an hour. Fortunately, I was able to finish the immigration process safely because I was able to talk on the phone.

4. Toronto => Ottawa
Since it's a transfer to a domestic flight, I have to find my luggage, and I was going to send my carrier back to the cargo, but I thought it would take a long time to find my luggage, so I took it on the plane. The flight was at 6:10 p.m., but it took about 40 minutes to get to Ottawa. I arrived at Seul's house by taxi from the airport. The taxi fare was about 17 dollars, but I gave you a 20 dollar bill and paid for the rest as a tip. And in front of Seul's house, the number 1048 was written big like a billboard, so it was easy to find it. When I got home, jh, who had surgery last week, took care of this and that, so I was able to rest well. I think I arrived at Seulne around 8pm on Saturday

5. a trip to Montreal
On Sunday morning, I took the city bus with brother jh and went to Montreal, which is 2 hours away by train. My brother prepared a lot for me, so I was able to go easily. But it's very, very cold;;ㅋ I walked around the streets, took pictures, and ate delicious food at a good restaurant.

6. Day of surgery (Monday)
I arrived at the hospital at 6:30 a.m. It's a 10-minute walk away. I've done a lot of paperwork, and I've done a lot of work with Rahal. I said I had a little thin upper hair, so I wanted to make a fan shape like Goodman or Black Kongkae nim, but Rahal said I should never do that. In my case, I was told that if I transplant it to the top of my head, the accompanying dropout would be quite severe, so I had no choice but to fill in the M shape and lower the forehead line. And the top hair told me to think about the second round later.
We did anesthesia, and the transplant began. When I was anesthetized, it hurt a little, and after that, I felt fine. After the surgery was over, when I arrived in Selyn, it was about 4 p.m. In the evening, the pain in the incision was quite severe. I took the painkillers that the hospital gave me, and I felt a little better, but it hurt again, so I spent the day staying up all night. (I couldn't sleep because it hurt so much at dawn, so I slightly regretted having the surgery.ㅋ)

7. Day 2 of surgery (Tuesday)
Even in the morning, the pain in the incision the day before did not subside. I had no choice but to take a lot of painkillers, but at 10 a.m., I suddenly felt my back neck paralyzed. But strangely at that moment, the pain in the incision disappeared. But the symptoms of paralysis got worse. I was so scared that when I called Suzy, she said she was coming to pick me up in her car now. When I got to the hospital, I lay down, my neck became completely stiff and my whole body was throbbing like a seizure (a little too;;;). Dr. Rahal kept checking his blood pressure, and he took a sedative. After about 40 minutes, I fell into a deep sleep.ㅋ I remember Suzy kept working next to me while I was lying down. After waking up, I came out of the hospital, and Suzy walked me to Seul-ne. He said he was worried that I might fall down. Thank you so much for your warm consideration. Walking home, I asked Suzy about my symptoms and she said it might be because she took too many painkillers in a short time. Actually, I took almost all the painkillers that the hospital gave me for a day;;;; I recommend taking painkillers to a minimum.
Since the seizure incident, there has been little pain in the back of the head. But maybe because I slept too much in the hospital, I couldn't sleep that night either.

8. Day 3 of surgery (Wednesday)
After going to the hospital in the morning, I went to Niagara Falls with my brother jh who was with me in Seulne. I had a lot of swelling left on my face, but there was little pain, so I just went on a trip. In fact, it could have been a little too much of a trip, but I couldn't stay at home because I was frustrated. When I arrived at Niagara Falls, it was evening. But maybe because it was cold, the waterfall was slightly frozen.;;;;; And even on this day, I couldn't sleep at night

9. Day 4 of surgery (Thursday)
I stayed at a hotel near Niagara and took a walk with my brother jh in the morning. I left in the afternoon and arrived at Seulne, and it was 8 p.m. I had dinner and fell asleep early.

10. Day 5 of surgery (Friday)
I haven't slept in the last few days, so I was quite anxious about waking up late, but I woke up at 2 a.m.;;; It was a 7:30 a.m. flight, so I didn't sleep anymore, and I cleaned it up for the last time. I came out of the house to catch the bus at 5:30 am with brother jh who saw me off. When I arrived at the airport, it was a little over 6 o'clock. I arrived in Korea via Vancouver.


The three pictures above are preoperative pictures, and the three pictures below are the current pictures of the 16th day. The red part is the transplanted part, and the forehead line is about 7 cm. I thought it was quite dense when I first transplanted it, but maybe because my head is clumped together, it looks very empty now. I'm going to remove the scab around 20 days. At first, it was an estimate of 3000 hair follicles, but it actually transplanted 2860 hair follicles. The cost was 1.2 million won for flight tickets, 360CAD for accommodation, and about 9,000CAD for surgery. If you are in Seulne, I think 150CAD is enough even if you have a lot of other expenses.
I don't know what the outcome of the surgery will be, but I'll steadily improve the progress.
Everyone who's had a hair transplant, I wish you all the best.
