Photos: Day 1 post surgery

I guess some people might find these interesting as a gauge for what you can see just after surgery.  These photos were taken in my room at the Hanse-Klinik by Professor Schmeller at around 8am the morning after surgery.  The nurse removed all my dressings and then had me stand on extra mats as the tumescent fluid was still dripping down my legs in places, as you can see, because the incisions are left open to allow the fluid to drain.  

By the time I flew back to the UK and removed the padding, I didn't leak anything like this much; this level of leaking lasted maybe 24 hours at most.  

Here you can see the bruising as it was starting to come out and you can see the pen marks if you look closely.  They took several days to wash off.  

There are quite a few drips on the floor as I moved around whilst waiting for the Professor to come into the room.  I also sat on the bed briefly, so that is the cause of the drips you can see on my bed pad.
