Scale of 1-5, 5 being the most; how cool is this?

    Heyyyy!  That's not a new shoulder.  You were supposed to get a new bionic shoulder; one that could lift a car (in slow motion).   That's just a dozen or so staples.  I sure hope you kept your receipt, because you got gypped.  (the ol' "Amazon.com switcheroo")

    Happy to see the surgery was successful.  Hope you heal quickly. :)

    That would be awesome if they would’ve used a staple gun.  We’ll have you patched up no time.  No, really.

     “Doctor” Livvie has spoken!

    He could’ve come to my place.  I would’ve been happy to do it for him.  I wouldn’t even have charged him for it.

    I counted 23 but it must be truly the most cool 5 -- that box says so - - "best choice!"

    Oh gosh.......I assumed they used a scope.  Well, it sure does look good.   I hope you are feeling better than you should at this point.  Good luck with your recovery and rehab.  Do you have to have that big block under your forearm?  Lord that always looks so miserable.  I've seen so many people with them though.  I truly hope a speedy recovery, El.

    4.5. Almost as cool as mine was - from the top of the pubic bone to my right hip. I looked like the first male to give birth by caesarean.

    it's still hard for me to figure out why they had to go through your front door.

    Anterior retroperitoneal approach - disturbs less muscle tissue, which speeds repair.

    I was running within a fortnight. It was the wait beforehand that near crippled me.

    I like that more than staples.  It hurts when the staples come out more than taking out the stitches.

    It's pretty cool, was that your bestchoice? Remember to stick to a staple diet during your recovery.
