Adventures in surgery

The virile and manly Captain Midnight is just lousy with testosterone. So much so, in fact, that it has made his hair a rare and precious thing, and caused a number of bumps to form on his noggin. Well, on Tuesday he went under the knife to get them out.

Behold the war wounds!

Poor man. No, he doesn't have an acute attack of jaundice in this picture.
The doctor used iodine all over his poor tender head.

He is not very happy about his owies. I think he misses his bumps.

We were astonished at the prescription CM received for pain -- 40 Percocet pills! FORTY! He hasn't needed anything, though, other than a day off work after the surgery to recuperate.

I think the funniest part of this was during the pre-surgery chat with the nurse, when she pointed to CM's head (she was actually referring to the stability of his bumps) and said, "There isn't much going on up there." Then she realized what she'd said and apologized profusely while I laughed. Au contraire, dear lady, there's PLENTY going on up there.
