Gobo,

That's wonderful!! She must be happy to have made it back home on

Mother's day! :) I'm glad they found out the (current) problem was

only drainage from the site. After all her other issues, that's at

least a normal complication! :) From what I've heard from others,

just because one part of the wound is open, doesn't necessarily it

mean it will scar more than the rest after it closes. Either way,

I'm sure the look is the least of her concerns! We hope to hear from

her when she's feeling up to it, but until we'll still be swinging

chickens for her! Tell not to let that recliner hold her prisoner

though, or at least makes sure she stretches her legs and flexes her

toes, etc so she doesn't get any blood clots!

*hugs*

My own sweetest angel went home on Sunday, Mother's Day.

She was discharged and got to spend 2 days at home before

she had to return once more to the Emergency Room due to

pain at the incision spot (uh-oh, not again!).
