adios, uno placo

today i had just one plate removed! they didn't want to do any more "invasion" than necessary and since i had only had problems with the one, that was the decision.

i'll be pissed if i get problems in another one in the future, haha, but this makes my recovery easier!  and i'll still be able to go, "hey feel my creepy plate" as a stupid human trick in the future.

unfortunately i could not keep or see the plate (i asked) because it is a biohazard thing and had to be sent off for testing because of it being "colonized."

the incision was about 3cm, everything went well, and they scraped out some infected tissue around the plate.

the cool thing seemed to be that they checked out my bone healing while they were "in there."  my bone cuts apparently healed awesomely and they said you could barely tell i'd had a BSSO.  i've got bone-healing SKILLZ.  :D

have some pain (duh) and some swelling (also duh).  it's cool though!  much less scary than last time:
