About your hair, I don't know, is there anyone who could do it for you???
I never had the surgery you are having.

If you cut pieces now, you will be able to sew them together fairly soon after surgery.
You may only be able to sew for short periods of time at first, but it can be part of your PT :D:D:D

Good luck with your upcoming surgery! I had both hands done at the same time back in 1999.

I had it done on both wrists one week apart, you will be glad you did. You should be able to sew in a week or so.
