In case anyone's curious

my swelling's down and my dressing's off, and it looks really good for three weeks post-op. I basically have an exclamation point on my leg now. There is a tiny dot at the top that looks like a tiny blemish or bite, that's where the nerve block pump went in, then there's the incision, which is self-explanatory. I haven't taken the adhesive off yet. The tape stuff just peeled off, and the stitches were absorbable.  The calf was where the robot was inserted. It had a square bandage on with a big adhesive plastic cover, which frankly, I never saw or felt him take off because we were talking. He's good at distraction. I'll stick a picture of the leg with the bandages in for comparison. But it's so nice to have them off, and now I can take a shower without plastic wrap around my leg. I do not do well with cling wrap. I can't even put it on a bowl properly, much less wrap it around my leg. Remember when people used to try to do that to lose weight back in the 70s? Yes, really, they did. I think they thought they'd sweat it out. It was on an episode of the show 'Emergency!', once back when I was a kid, I remember.

Without bandages, and swelling is down
