The Grand Unveiling (Squeamish Beware)

These photos were taken last Saturday (the day after surgery). I was able to take the wrap off and cover the wounds with band-aids.

I was a little uneasy doing this, but really the wrap looked worse than the actual sutures.
It kind of looks like a smiley face. I had 3 poke holes from the scopes and such and one 2 inch long incision. I am not sure what the doctor used to seal it because I could not see any sutures. Superglue?
A comparision of both my knees. A lot of swelling that has gone down some since then. You can't really see where my kneecap is. It is actually underneath the blue marker which was the doc's signature so he would definitely be working on the correct knee. I was asked so many times what knee they were going to be working on that I was starting to doubt my judgement of left and right. Part of that could have been the drugs as well.
