So just to give perspective to this picture. Roger is laying on his right side. The incision coming down sideways is from his first surgery. The white gauze on the sideways incision is covering the sites from his 2 chest tubes. The incision on his spine is from the second surgery where they did the posterior fusion and added 2 more rods and 4 more screws. The piece of gauze on the top of that incision is from the drain the placed in his back to drain the blood. The sideways incision has about 25 staples and the incision on his spine is about a foot long. Poor guy! Now you can see where the pain is coming from!
