I just had a first...a slight bump with a tiny branch as I was walking on the street. It was very slight (the branch was about ½ inch in diameter) and flexible. What do you think? Should I worry? March 4th was my procedure. Have you ever had a brush like that? There was not pressure on the skin, just a little and no pain, more of a surprise reaction. The pressure was equivalent to a spray from a shower head directly on the head.

There was no blood. I am real obsessive about my grafts and what touches them. I don't even like to feel the tops of the grafts with the flat of my hands...because of my worry of how sensitive they are.
You're probably fine. I hit my noggin on the overhead of the small plane taking me from my HT back to home. Two weeks later I left my medicine cabinet open while I washed my hair in the sink and hit it smack in the whorl. I'm 8 weeks in now and no residual damage. There are probably lots of bump stories out there with the vets... both small and large. garyr
