Mornin', everybody! The weekend went by a bit fast, as usual. Now, back to the same old grind.
Hope you're all doing well.

Saw my Ortho Doc this morning. I have a seroma that has developed under my surgical site. I've had serous drainage superior to last staple on my incision site for several weeks. As the Doc was squeezing out fluid out popped a sliver of white substance. Most likely it was bone wax, which caused the negative reaction L/T the serous pocket [seroma]. They almost wanted me to have an I&D today but decided for me to come back Thursday morning.
BTW, just saw the movie Dark Knight... great entertainment.
BTW2, I decided to change my site username. So, per my request, Aaron made it happen.

I just can't get into the Batman bit.
I coulda changed the name, but noooooo! (Done in SNL fashion).
Do you think there is a correlation between working out and the seroma in your case? (Increased muscle mass, trauma to area. etc.) What about warm compresses? Is that an option?

I have not been doing active range of motion with my left arm. My physical therapist advised cold compresses d/t slight swelling remains.I just can't get into the Batman bit.
