my whole left side is still really swollen and hurts like no other. What do you guys think, should i change my name to frankenstein? :D

also sorry about all the hair Im trying to save up for hibernation. :D

ah cmon that's just a scratch lol, hope you're feelin at least a little better :)

No more 4 wheelers or mules for you :colbert: , this isn't gory, you should have video taped the surgery :)

Well to be honest I feel worse right now, but I know its gonna help me in the long run. Its got my shoulder totally numb and im hoping that it doesnt stay like that.

Haha now that would have been gory. I youtubed some surgeries the night before I had it done and that was a big mistake.
I was very close to backing out after I saw the power tools come out.

it might... i was in a car accident (day after enlistment) and ended up shattering my lower leg and did damage to the knee. i have a plate, 6 screws and work done on my knee to show for it. i still don't have much feeling in that knee or part of the leg.

That's pretty intense. .....when are you getting the rest of your bones done so you can rock out like Wolverine? :rofl: If you wanna see some brutal surgery...look up some compartmental syndrome surgery on someones leg. it is brutal. I prolly have it, and need that....eeeeeeehh. I dont know about getting it after that. ::cringe::

Anyhow, looks like everything was closed up really nice. I hope you have a speedy recovery from that, and the numbness not being permanent. Did they mention anything about that? It might take a few days. Feel better!

pretty nice :gj::gj:

yes they said that the numbness should go away but its not guaranteed. it actually looks pretty good because they put the stitches under the skin so it wouldn't leave a huge scar across my chest.
