Unconscious Shaving

One of the weirdest things that happened as a result of my appendix being removed is my stomach is now shaved. They did not warn me ahead of time that they were going to do this, nor did it occur to me that it might happen. I just woke up after surgery and noticed that most (not all) of the hair on my stomach was shaved. It was just shaved shorter than it was, no part was shaved all the way down to the skin.

I completely understand why they did it, but it would have been nice to know beforehand so i wouldn't have been so shocked when i awoke from the anesthesia.

Note to people with hairy bellies: Don't ever shave it unless you absolutely have to, it itches a LOT when it's growing in.
