@HobbesIsMyTiger ā¦ to read or not to read. That is the question.
Soooooooooooo ā¦ I couldnāt sleep last night at all. Everything seemed fine though until about 4 AM. I thought I felt some goo on the pillow but thought it was a gel for the incision.
5:30 AM wife is awake and gets up, as do I. When I turn on the light and look back at the bed it is not a big puddle on coagulated blood dripping from the pillow to the bed. I did NOT take a pic to post.

Not normal at all.
Sorry I left it out, but I was at the ER by 6 AM. 5 more sutures to close it up good.

For those of us that are not fans of going to the Doctor (and have spent too many days in the hospital over the past 70+ years) stock up on some super Glue.
It stings like hell but it works. I really miss stitches though ā I had a running count of mine from over the years and all the butterfly bandages and super glue stuff ruins the number keeping!

They did glue my chest ā¦ but stitched the neck. No idea why ā¦

Most likely they didnāt have or didnāt want to use the flexible super glue. A chest area would be less likely to bending and flexing while on the neck it is going to move more. Every time you turn your head it will put stress and strain on the incision.
This one is actually ārubber toughenedā so you could have become a Borg.

So ā¦
First you have to wait until everything heals up before a visit ti turn it on and get things up. That should be around a month I think.
EDIT: Reason is itās wired into the tongue ā¦ Thus the neck incision.
Next, sadly for me my Pulmonologist decide to close his office here and Iām having to get a new one. HOPEFULLY theyāll get me in sooner than later ā¦ but you know how that usually goes.
