The Out Patient

Here's bandage-head boy :) As you can see, he's not feeling 100%---though he's doing pretty well, considering. No purple bandage this time. I guess by the fourth surgery they figure you're not royalty anymore.

Everything went well---Dr. Joe just went in and performed a brief bit of magic, getting the magnet back where it belongs. No damage to any part of the implant, so all is well. The bandage has to be kept on for hopefully one more day (we'll see if that happens) to keep internal swelling down and minimize the possibility of fluid building up in that area. He can't wear his processor on that side for a week and no rough-housing for two weeks! Yeah, right! That also means no hockey for two weeks, which he'll be quite sad about. I'm not sure that I will be, though.

Here's hoping this is the last time!
