Hi there LittleOrca,
Time flies doesn't it - already five days since your surgery!
Don't worry about your hair too much. It will be fine I'm sure. Just make sure that it's not getting knotty with some gentle (finger)combing and keep it braided - maybe treat the ends to some heavy oiling as well, and let it be. You've just had some pretty serious surgery you know!
A few more days, (they will go by fast) and you will be able to give it the care that you did prior to your operation.
Sending speedy recovery wishes your way.
