They got all of the lump in my chest, size of a bird's egg.

24 stitches, 3 layers of them and 8 in each layer. The two bottom layers will dissolve. They also had to cauterize me for bleeding.

Surgery took about an hour. The local anesthesia failed me again and they had to give more (it kinda hurts when they are cutting if they don't).

Surgery was from 1:30 to 2:45. I go back in two weeks to get the stitches removed.

I feel like my chest is tight and has a big hole in it now.

Worst part is I cannot lift weights until he checks me in two weeks. Might be restricted for 6 weeks!

Hope you feel better real soon...Are you going to make the big bash this weekend?

No, I need to not stretch my chest muscles by driving or anything. And I can't get wet for a couple of days.

Take it easy and feel better soon!!

Thanks, I will.

Get better soon Hippie, and maybe some of the gals will show up and give you a sponge bath

Glad to hear you got through that. Get to feeling better soon.

I didn't know you had any lumps. I hope everything was taken care of and you recover soon.
