Thanks everyone!! Rain- and everyone else who commented on the thighs. I asked today what he did to make them look like that and apparently it's a matter of when they have the patient on their side they lift the leg to a 45 degree angle outwards so that you get the most amount of skin available to pull into the lift. This makes things very, very tight initially, but the results of the manuver show in my legs. It's amazing...I know...He looked me over today like an artist perusing his canvas. He's very happy with the results too!! Two drains came out today...Two more to go!!

Ok...off to nap!
Thanks again for all the wonderful comments!

If you can't be a good example, then you'll just have to be a horrible warning!!
