Out Of Surgery And Into The Pain Ward

I just had what sounds like it'll be the first of two operations on my back. The infected area is now drained and packed, and sometime in the weeks to come I'll probably have to have it all cut out. I'm on my first of many doses of percoset (just starting to take effect now) so I may not be blogging much over the next several days... or maybe I will, and it'll all just be even more incomprehensible than usual.

And I've now seen the damage and it is a nice deep slit. You could stick a nickle in it and not touch the sides. Yikes. And Surgeons in Residency do not have a gentle touch and should not be allowed to play with bandages or re-pack wounds. Sigh.
