Oh yeah, how's your incision healing? I was concerned about mine. Stitches came out just this Wednesday that passed. My dressing stayed on the whole time, except the part where the drain came out - that was changed. The peice below the ear lobe was kinda black looking, only on one side of the incision, cheek side. I didn't know that until I came home after the stitches came out. I was assured that was normal as long as there is no swelling, fever, hot spots, etc. Today it does look a little better. Slowly, but surely we well recover from this.
