Fantastic! Had the op yesterday - under local as planned - and everything seems to have gone OK. I am now sporting a fashionable headband made from designer crepe bandage which is supposed to be holding the dressing in place. Not sure if it really is as it keeps slipping...not only that, but I need to figure out a way to wash my hair without getting the dressing wet. Needs to be done today really - can't go a whole week without doing it!

Am going back to get the stitches out next week (26th). Bring it on! (And hope he's still got his tan...mmm, mmm, mmm!!!
