Chicks dig scars... I'd leave 'em. ;)

I left mine. Josh, got your phone messages, you sound great! Glad to hear your out of the hospital. Remember, drive safely!

I'll throw in another obligatory Star Wars quote (and I used the Gundark quote before you had this surgery):
"It's so good to see you fully functioning again."

Glad you are doing well, Josh. Now go out and make a toy run!!

I thought things looked brighter in San Diego! I thought it was the sun, but it was Josh's smile instead! :D

Glad things went well! :thumbsup:

Thanks for all the cheers guys. They're a large part of what is causing me to smile.

I couldn't bring myself to make a toy run this morning btw. I woke up at 4am or so (when the nurses come in to draw blood and take your vitals). Of course that doesn't happen when you're at home, but my internal clock is still programmed to expect it. By the time Target would be getting set to open, I was finally tired and drugged up enough to want to stay lying down. (Pain-killers are not "just optional" when you've been cut open like I have been.)

Any good dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon would tell you to wait at least a year, as your wound is still healing and will get tighter and smaller, harder to see, all on its own during the meantime. But Vitamin-E cream and Mederma (available at Wal-Mart) are very well-recommended helpers for this healing process).

It's awesome to know that you're feeling great!

Don't forget to use cocoa butter if you have any stretch marks. :thumbsup:

Glad you're doing well and got the results you wanted.

Soon you'll just be taking Tylenol, as well as all the other meds you need!

No, I like to pretend I was on the battle on Endor and an Ewok cut me across my ab section of my trooper armor, just before I stuck my blaster against his head, and pulled my trigger. :yes:
