I know the impending surgery is scary, but you’re doing the right thing seeking answers from people who have been through it. I wish I’d found this community before my surgery!

I have long hair and really like my hair, and I brought it up to my surgeon. He only shaved the bare minimum- about half an inch wide and three inches long. Even shortly after the surgery you could only see the incision if I had my hair in a high bun- a ponytail hid it pretty well and it wasn’t noticeable at all with my hair down. I’d mention it to your surgeon. One thing: if you keep your long hair, be really careful brushing it after the surgery. I draped a towel over my shoulders and bunched it up around the incision so I wouldn’t accidentally bump it while I was brushing.

I did have trouble sharing a bed with my spouse. I ended up sleeping in our guest room. I got a support wedge and it was an absolute life saver, I had to sleep almost sitting up and this thing was great, especially since you can adjust the incline: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00U6HMK78/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_UL2OCbDAW0AMT

Idk about the card, I’m in Texas and we don’t have them. But you definitely shouldn’t be considered “cured”, everyone says it takes a year or more to feel fully recovered from the surgery. I’m four months post op and still take narcotics to manage the pain, I don’t feel cured yet by any means. But, a little better each day for the most part :)
