The gutting has been completed

I've been silent for a few days while my body recovered from the boning knife with which they sawed me open. I'm still not really recovered, but I'm able to get upstairs finally and get some work done and other stuff. The operation was a success, in that they found and fixed the problem, but once the doctor got in he found the hole to be larger than expected so he had to enlarge the incision. My incision was to be a 1.5 inch slice and turned into a 4 inch gaping wound. Of course, that didn't prevent the hospital from kicking me out before the anesthesia wore off. I'm sure my pain saved them a great deal of money.
