Congratulations and take it easy. Watch those boring movies a little or read a book? It's hard but just walking and resting would be good for now.

Good for you! I know home is just like... home. Kind of comforting as chicken soup.
I watched a lot of the discovery and history channels. Some interesting stuff that you never knew and will probably never use but I now know so little about so much. Take it easy, Dale

Butterflies tend to work just as good to hold the wound together until it closes up naturally. I ran a razor blade in to my arm, and did not want to go to the doctor, so I taped the wound myself and it healed nicely.
It is great to be home in the comforts of your own space. This helps to promote healing. My wife has been home for a few weeks now healing from her hysterectomy. Do you enjoy soap operas? Hang in there and keep us informed of your progress. Terry Newton

I got concerned about my incision and went to see the vascular surgeon yesterday. I really didn't like waiting till Tuesday, since I could see blood under the steristrips. It is sealed up and looking good. He still wants me to keep the new strips on until they start coming off. Now if this leg pain would stop, I would feel great. Thanks for the suggestions on how to kill more time. I wish I would of purchased the stuff to tie those crappie jigs now. I decided to hold off, because I wasn't sure about being able to sit. What the heck, I might as well now. I see fishing on the schedule in a few weeks. They "made" me take off for 6 weeks and I think I can get rid of the evidence from the sun in that time!

Did you describe the pain when urinating to the vascular surgeon? He's the guy who would understand potential ureter issues... If he knows about it and is not concerned, that should take some worry away.
