You are so correct that the yank hurts, but only for a short period of time. I looked at it as a chance to holler at full volume in a public place (grin). I just wore a bandaid and kept the hole clean. It healed quite quickly. Yes, there is a slight depression, but as my bikni wearing days are behind me, I did not consider any surgery. If you have the revision surgery, please post so people will know how it goes. I showered with the bandaid on, but did not submerge, as in swim, until it was clearly healed. Be happy that the worst is over. Probably nothing will ever hurt like that again!
