| My double chin is a bit off center |
 |
| This would cover a few flaws |
Well, it is Thursday. I am out of the hospital as of last night. I have both ears, contrary to that stupid dream I had. I;m a little loopy. The graft looks very strange but they tell me that is normal at first. I'm not sure if they meant that the graft usually looks strange or that I look strange. The later is fairly certain. Right now the graft area in the neck is really large. It looks like they took the double chins off of a whole room full of high priests pasted them on my neck. Oh, well, there goes my chances at the beauty pageant. I guess I will just have to excel in the swimsuit division. JoLynne talked about having me wear a Arabic turbin. That could be cool but I would want a scimitar to go with it for sure.

| Racing stripe |
My right thigh is....different. They took a huge chunk out to rebuild everything. From my hip to my knee. And then some dang fancy stiching. I guess the microvascular surgeon told them that he didn't think it would be possible to sew it closed. I think that must be like operating room trash talk or something. So, two surgeons jumped on my leg with suture needles flying. At least that is how I remember it but I was asleep. Needless to say, they got it closed. It's tight though and I have to be careful how I move it for now. Shortly after I woke up JoLynne said "Do you want to see your leg?" I was still drugged or or I probably would have said "No". But she showed me. The first thing I thought when I saw it was "Hey, a racing stripe!" I can walk but very slowly and it helps to lean on something.
I am having a little trouble controlling the movement in my right eye. Because of that, I was wearing an eye patch last night when my granddaughter Vivian called. She took one look at me in the computer and said. "Grandpa, I want to see both of your eyeballs" I told her why I had a bandage on my eye, she thought about that for a minute and said "Okay, I want to see grandma then" That's okay, we will get it all figured out. They arrive here on Saturday. I am sure looking forward to that.
