I continue to live! Surgery went well, and I am healing. This is the first time I've been conscious during surgery, and I gotta say, it is really weird being awake as you're being cut open. it's also disconcerting when you can smell burning flesh, and know it's your own!

My wife got to watch the whole procedure, and really enjoyed it!

She also named the lump they removed Harvey. Sadly, Harvey was sent to a lab, so I wasn't able to keep a bit of him, but I'll always have a scar to remember him by.

(I'd share a pic of him, but it is pretty gruesome, and probably violates a TOS.).

I also learned about skin glue! Apparently it goes over the stitches to keep them protected. Like an industrial liquid bandage.

I hope everyone is doing well, and has a great weekend!

Love,

B!

Hope you're recovering well, and at least this was a suitably Halloween-ish post title!

Rest up good sir. While you may have smelt what was going on, at least they got the local deep enough, so you didn't feel it. Had that experience getting a cyst removed from my shoulder twice in the early 2000's. By that, two times cut out, both times not deep enough on the local. Same doctor. Hope the lab results on Harvey are in the good news department. hugs.

Glad to hear things went well. Now, you stay put while you're convalescing. No backflips or somersaults.

Brutal! Hope the recovery goes well. Hope Harvey only has good things to tell the lab people about you. Otherwise I'm coming to take Harvey's thumbs!!!

Rest assured that a small piece of Harvey will always be with you.

Glad to hear that the surgery went well and that you are recovering. Take it easy. And I'm sure Harvey is in a better place now.
