Good Morning, everybody! Hope all is well. It's another sunny day over here; no rain, though it's been predicted.

So what all is going on? Anything in particular? Anyone getting ready for school?

Will be leaving the house soon to go see my Doc for post-op F/U.

Received my orders yesterday. Looks like I'll be assigned as Deputy Director of Combat Medic Training... whatever that means?

Post-op site dressing removed, as well as stitches. Other than a little redness [w/o swelling, or heat] the site looks great. I can now take a shower vs. a bath... YEA!

Use Vitamin E OIL to surgical spots when scabs come off. I have used this tx. alot. Puncture a Vit. E capsule with pin, and use small amount on areas. Will decrease scar.
