Where have I been?
It’s now over five weeks since I had my belly sliced open. I have been home over four and am healing nicely. The Doc said that by six weeks after the surgery the wound strength would be at about 90% of normal and 95% in another month. Posting has been extremely light.

Kind of like a RV with a rubber roof. She replaced it with something called “Montgomery strips”. The plastic strips are perforated, much like for insertion into a ring binder. Safety pins were placed in the holes. One strip was securely taped on each side of the wound. The dressing was then inserted and the package was secured with rubber bands laced across the safety pins. The whole thing is durable and very easy to change the dressing. I was transf...
