Wow, not bad. Did you have staples or sutures? Looks like railroad tracks to me.

Great pic of a great looking memento from the OR.
Congratulations!

Your in it Mister!
Ross, I think that Quillie is wondering about a designated photo album page or something like that.
You know, a "Cut to the chase and let's see some skin" page.

Excellent! Nice scar. Welcome to the Order; your lifetime membership is paid up.
Nice scar, your Doc did good work there, but not a very tawdry shirt!

I'm surprised you can get your arms up that high. And even harder to get the shirt on and off. You are doing great.
Nice scar, agreed. How long is it? We have one that is only four inches, done by a lady pediartic thoracic surgeon. And some like mine, a 13.5" Grand Canyon, created for a surgeon whose hands were as gifted as an angel's - but as big as Mickey Mouse's.
And...
The Shirt! The Shirt! It's also about the Shirt! That's not a Tawdry Shirt. It's a normal shirt.
Where are the Tawdry Shirts out there? Who has one?
I have one or two more, if we need to put another into circulation. The idea is that the shirts go to those having their surgery, and they take a picture with the shirt. Then the shirt is washed and sent on to the next valvee, along with a signed, dated copy of the picture.
It's a way of actually touching and connecting with the support of VR.com, and being able to wear it, like a...well...like an ugly shirt. But one that we share and pass on to each other.
There are hopes that these glad and silly rags can circle to our members around the earth over time.
Who needs the next Tawdry Shirt?
Best wishes,
