Warning: Graphic Pics of Westllen's surgery

[westllen]

More to come later in the day. He had another rough night. I have relayed everyone's posts. He seems to rally a bit when I am reading them to him

He gets the staples removed tomorrow. That should be a fun ride for him Hopefully once those are taken out he'll feel a bit better.

Please tell him that Suzanne is praying heard for him and wishes him a speedy recovery!! I am praying for you too Janie!! When will they take the drain out?

When this over, you're going to have to drive the young girls away with a baseball bat. That's going to make one impressive 'dueling' scar!

Boy, that's manly! :thumbup:

CHICKS DIG SCARS! I am just glad he's ok. Keep us updated. My prayers continue to go out for him.

Still thinking of him, let us know if he'd like some frankestein bolts I'm sure we'll figure out something. :0

How about some nice damascus neck bolt. That would be classy.

Wow, after all that, I believe the man deserves a new Busse.

How did the staple removal session go? I've had lots of 'em removed from my leg a couple times now (got my leg and foot crushed by a boulder); getting staples pulled out of a neck would be somewhat less than enjoyable... I'd not be surprised if there was at least some bleeding and drainage for a bit afterwards.
I'm sure the docs have informed y'all, westllen and Mrs., but stay on the lookout for fever, increased localized redness, pain and drainage, and just a general feeling of nausea and crappiness, as those are prime indicators of infection. From my multitudinous experience, infection is par for the course with surgeries, so simply be on the lookout for symptoms.
Good luck in your continued recovery, westllen! Hang in there, both of you; this, too, shall pass :thumbup:

Jumpin' Geezes!...That looks even worse than when I stuck my CS Tanto in my arm last year!.....But don't fret, as I healed well, and so will you.:thumbup:.:thumbup:.

 

[Rat Finkenstein]

Yowch! Send my best regards, hopefully he heals fast from that.

Hope Jules is feelin better.

Looks like my wife's souvenir from 2000.

She had a total thyroidectomy. (they actually had to go back in the same incision 4 weeks later for two more nodes )

Was his a total or partial?

Get your hog self feelin better bro.

Thoughts and prayers with you and yours....
