I really could use some tits, just not growing on me...
Don't we all Heh.
Speedy recovery, Paul. Hang in there.
"The use of force is always an answer to problems. Whether or not it's a satisfactory answer depends on a number of things, not least the personality of the person making the determination. Force isn't an attractive answer, though. I would not be true to myself or to the people I served with in 1970 if I did not make that realization clear."
— David Drake
OK, the tit's gone, the doctor said it was a piece of cake, and the lab says everything is kosher. The anesthesiologist pumped the area full of some liquid painkiller I can't remember the name of right now -- shouldn't have any real pain problems for about three days, and I have Percocet and Tylenol 4 to take care of that. I do need to buy some more button-down shirts, though -- I only have one, which I'm wearing now. The surgery only took 45 minutes -- it took longer to wake up from the anesthesia. This will never happen again on my left side, though a right side growth is still a possibility. I'm not allowed to drive for two weeks, though (thank god) typing is OK as long as I don't overdo it. I also can't lift even my little mini dachshund with that arm until the doctor says it's OK -- I see him in two weeks. The wound is closed with dissolving stitches and butterfly bandages, and they will go away on their own. (Max is actually one of my biggest problems -- he likes to come up on the bed and jump on my chest. At least he's less than 10 pounds.)
So, everything's good to go, no worries.
