Believe51,

It is so nice of you to check on me. I'm doing just great.
Having 4 hours of surgery really had me dragging my tail feathers, however my energy levels are starting to return to normal.

My plastic surgeon fixed my puppy dog ears from the stomach incision with the TRAM. The last few days they have been very itchy. They still have the steri strips and my skin just hates any kind of adhesive. I'll be so happy when the strips come off.
