To grow or not to grow? - please vote

A few of the folks waiting for transplants have decided not to shave until their new lung comes (most of these are men) so I'm considering doing the same.

One guy even got his call after only three days of growing his beard so I'll try anything to hasten things along.

But there are some dissenters in my family who remember the last time when I moaned incessantly about the itching for the first two weeks.

So please vote - yes or no. I'm already 3 days into it and if the decision is no then I'd like to look half decent by the weekend!

Pabs! There is no poll!
I vote yes, though!

Hmm - I'm with you on the "anything-to-hurry-along-a-lung" front, BUT I do remember the last time...

So, my verdict is: why not give it a go?! You can always shave it off again.

Hm.... I am all for the "whatever-makes-your-transplant-more-speedy" route, however I do remember the last Beard Growing incident.

My verdict: Give it another go! You can always shave it off.

Mike - I vote YES. A distinguished beard would be great for the colder weather. On another note, I must have been on another planet here to be this out of touch with your current state of waiting for the transplant. Thanks Steph for sending me the link.

I just can't picture it. I say no.

But then again, it IS just hair, no like you're contemplating a tattoo!
