I don't have the "after" shot yet, but here's the ugly, painful, frightening (to the kids) "before" bulges! Nasty, huh? They were only on his left leg, and as a result of a bus with a VERY hard clutch. The surgery was more entailed than I thought, but there is no lengthy recovery. In fact, Mel will be leaving early in the morning for a field trip. He will need a test next Tuesday, and a follow up visit with the doctor on Friday. He'll continue with the support stocking for a week, and that's it. They were late getting the surgery under way, and it was after 3:00 when we finally got out of there. I was able to bring his coffee to him in recovery. There was no general anaesthesia—a local, and IV "relaxer", but they had to be sure he was okay.
Glad it's done! More hugs!

Wow...that does look painful. I can't wait to see the difference! How can he do a field trip so soon and drive?
There really is a short recovery on this procedure. Tylenol is the only pain medication offered him, and he only took that for the head ache from caffeine withdrawal. lol They did not allow him to drive on the day of the procedure only because of the medication they used. More Hugs
