Thanks Ed and Sharlee. Well I've been doing some reading and some say if it's done wrong it can do more harm. So think we'll just stay away from the massage for now.

We'll ask the dr's if they can refer us to a licensed massage therapist, if needed. Think for now we'll just let the swelling go down on it's own. It's only been one month since surgery and he's only been home from the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks now.

Thanks again.
