Well Halloween came and went and it looks like I'll get to wear this outfit for a few more days It took two surgeons and staff about 5 hours to open me up, clean out the two problem areas and then put me back together. They were able to leave the muscles and all but one small branch of my jugler, and according to them I am doing very very well....no swelling to speak of both drains already removed...yeah! We go back on Thursday to begin the staple removal and then maybe back to work on Monday...but...I'm not going to push it too hard.
