My Incisions

March 20th, 2008 by jonesy

Lobectomy Incisions
Kind of gross, but here are my incisions. The long 7” cut with the 23 staples is where the surgeon gained access to my right lung.  The lower two slits are where my chest tubes entered my chest cavity (yuck).  The incisions don’t really hurt that much any longer, but I am still in pain in my ribs and sternum from the spreading of my ribs to give the docs access.

Sorry if too graphic or too much skin….

    Wow. It even looks better than I thought it would. I am glad everything is, so far at least it seems, the best case scenarios.

    Looks fun. Glad everything went well. Those could have been much worse. Keep playing video games. You know, you should really get that PS3. I think I’m getting mine this weekend…

    Get better. We need you back.

    Great to see you are doing well. That is going to be a nice scar, you will have to come up a cool story for this.

    Relax and enjoy your time away during your recovery.

    Regards.
