hello fellow chrome domes: as most of U know... i'm a very proud sly RN. i've had my shares of "shaving" stories. yesterday at the hospital... one of my female nursing assistants said 2 me..."mel, the patient in rm#____, is too weak 2 shave his head & i feel uncomfortable & never ever shaved someone's head". i quickly responded..."that's kewl... tell him i'll B right over there in 15 minutes 2 help him out".
when i approached my patient he had a "buzzed" horseshoe... he said 2 me..."mel... i am too weak 2 stand up & shave my head in the bathroom. can U help me?" i said... do U have your own razor? pt said..."no, i don't have my mach3 with me & i can't wait until tomorrow 4 my family 2 bring it 2 me". i warned him: "well... we have gillette disposable (good news) razors here in the hospital. will that B okay?" he said..."mel... anything 2 keep my head bald". we both laughed.

after the headshave... my patient was very happy. he immediately gave himself the good ole "self head rub" & exclaimed...."wow.... that's feels better". anyways.... the "joyful" look of that patient was priceless.

as we have stated b4... headshaving is absolutely liberating.

Mel,
That's great! I can relate to that. I have a elderly friend from church who had a stroke. So I have shaved him down about once a month. It's about time I do it. Look for my post, "Headshave for a good cause."
