Thanks for the comment Brian. John has an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to see how the stitches in his neck are coming around, etc. He had to have his wound "re-stitched" since after doing some simple therapy exercises at home - the wound opened up and started bleeding like crazy. It's weird - and the surgeon has seen this - but there's a "hole" in a part of his neck where the stitches keep opening up - and on occasion, John can hear a "squishing" sound coming from it. The Surgeon as I mentioned has seen this, and is not too concerned about this - he said it will heal on it's own. He has also been taking Keflex to help combat infection. Today, John was really feeling lousy - he was complaining of a pounding headache and of course, stiffness and tightness in the shoulder/face/neck area where the surgery was done. He also was sweating quite a bit. I hope this is not a sign of infection - but thankfully, he does have an appointment with the surgeon tomorrow to see how everything is doing. I was on a search engine, and noticed a particular web site that mentioned that it is not really uncommon for some people to have fatigue even "years" afterwards! I don't know how true that is - but with the problems that he is having with his neck and the swelling, etc it may be all related to that. Guess I'll find out more tomorrow.
