There was something about the bandage that was irritating the skin underneath, causing discomfort and itching. It's off now, leaving a red ring around the area without surgical glue where the bandage was touching, and I'm using hydrocortisone to treat it. The pressure cuffs are finished and though it will be a while till the pain clears up this is a marked improvement. I'll continue to use the ice pack for now. It takes a while for this to heal completely.

I told myself I'd give myself time to get past the surgery then make a concerted effort to start listing stuff on eBay, so starting next week I will photograph several items to be listed. Sometimes I just do one a day and after a couple of weeks it ads up to a nice set of listings.
