David's ACL Surgery

Week 2

I got my staples removed on Monday.

Malcolm, Dr Kobs' Physician Assistant removed my staples on day 11, (3/3/03), using a pair of special pliars. There was a slight twinge of pain, but not much. The wrinkles in my skin are from the bandages. The yellow color is from the antiseptic they pained on my leg before surgery.
