my TOOTS photo

[netmiff]

Here it is - and the tawdry shirt is ready to be passed on.

Surgery was September 6th, 2007, aortic valve replacement. They left the "jumper cable" wires in longer than they should have, and by then I had had 3 or 4 days of coumadin, so then I had to wait until that left the body, and then get them out, and they were crusty. Anyway, that is why I have the three extra bits of scar ....

Next "victim", e-mail me at [email protected] with your address and I will get it out to you soon.

Ross is going to just LOVE that photo!

My husband affectionately calls the smaller scars from the tubes and wires my "blow holes"...... wait - is he saying that I'm the size of a whale????

it's not the scar that's long, it's me that's short lol I am only 5'1"; he also had to start it higher up to give himself some room to work in, as he had a small aneurysm to tuck in - and I was told that BEFORE surgery.

and karlynn, yeah, I knew he would, dirty old man that he is lol

I'm 5 feet 2 inches.....I made sure my surgeon had small hands.

You look really good, and if it weren't for the scars, no one would think you'd just had open heart surgery!

 

[Ross]

Outstanding! The other women here need to take note.

That scar isn't long. What I have is long and I have a blow hole in my throat too. Looks like someone shot me with a 45 or some large caliber handgun.

Ross it took you all of 46 minutes to sniff out this thread.....are you sleeping on the job???

 

[WayneGM]

Nice pic. You're looking really good post-op.

 

[geebee]

Looking good.

I tried to do a scar photo awhile back but was shy about the sides of my ****s showing. Maybe I will reconsider now that someone else has more nerve than me.

Karlynn - what say you too? Should we start an old TOOTS club?

This is something my wife would say - she always says she's short - but I'm the one with the scar.
