Tht I can relate to Rich, I had two of those within 34 days.. How's the healing coming?! Has the soreness eased up?!
Update on day 39 of Apollo 13 and day 6 of Discovery.. Drainage has eased, still some blood on Gauze whn removed frm Discovery.. Tht's normal at this stage.. Discomfort is easing..

Day 45 for Apollo 13 and Day 12 for Discovery.. I've been sorting out some personal issues tht had me a little depressed but I'm almost past tht now..
My BM's are normal again.. One every morning..
Woohoo!
The wounds are healing well..
Discovery crater size is filling up well.. Very pink and being kept clean.. I cannot stress this enough for fellow AF readers..
Clean, clean, clean and dry.. Keep it tht way..
Keep the site clean and dry, it takes time but it pays off..
Apollo 13 is progressing well! Woohoo! No trouble on tht side.. Tht's a little over 7 weeks close to two months, my wound was huge.. So fellow sufferers.. You have nothng to fear.. Do the surgery!
Clean, clean, clean..
Rich, how's the site?! You been driving up a storm recently?! Are you male or female?!
