Speaking of being scared of the surgery -- My mind is polluted by endless hours of watching operations on cable TV. We've all watched those shows, right? So, to keep in that vein, here's a picture of the scar I took after my surgery (linked, because it's yucky):
http://dangerousjoy.com/images/yuck.jpgThat was as soon as I got home, after a three day hospital stay. I was a mess, too, and very high on percocet. Very, very high...The drive from Baltimore to Silver Spring was not an easy one. My uncle had to go at about 30mph the whole time, with me screaming out at every bump. But what an awesome scar, eh? My hair's grown back in, so you can't see it.
