Appendectomy was Feb 26th, so yea, it's been a rough year lol!
Hopefully being healthy now, this repair shouldn't knock him out for as long. Probably 4-6 weeks for the incision to completely heal. It's the muscle spasms that are rough, from pulling all that back together.

He actually repaired the entire length of the original incision with pig skin!

We have been doing it since I was a kid. I would bug Mom and Dad ceaslessly to open something Christmas Eve so Mom started making me a "shaker" package that I could handle as much as I wanted pre-Christmas and then open Christmas Eve. The most memorable one was one year when Michael Jackson's "Beat It" was the song, I told Mom I was sick of him and never wanted to see/hear him again. I was just baffled by my "shaker" package. It would slide - thump, slide-thump. Opened it Christmas Eve and she had wrapped up a Michael Jackson T-Shirt with a brick.

--- NOMINATION SUBMISSION FORM ---

We are very excited to announce the Official Launch of Phase 2 of the BYC Award Program! Phase 2 isYOUR opportunity to recognize those outstanding BYC members that always enrich your BYC experience. Do you know a BYC member that is exceptional and always goes Above and Beyond in their commitment to their fellow BYC members and the BYC community? If so, we want to hear about them!

We are now accepting nominations from the Community for those individual Members that consistently demonstrate a commitment to excellence in one or more of the following areas:
  1. BYC Educator: This is a Staff awarded accolade. We have changed this award to reflect only the highest standards. Only those who adhere to the highest standards of knowledge and education will be considered for this award. While nominations will be accepted for this award, the Staff will thoroughly vet each person and only those who meet/exceed the Staff's high criteria will be awarded the Educator Badge. Nominees must, among other points, have a verifiable reputation of providing information more than just "common knowledge," assist members in a positive and courteous manner, be open to feedback without getting defensive, and should maintain their good standing with little disciplinary action for rules violation.
  2. BYC Friend: These individuals are just plain fun and great to have around! They are our favorite comedians and enablers; our most cluckative. They are always accessible to lend a cordial and helping hand. Their enthusiasm encourages us, their empathy comforts us.
  3. BYC Spirit: These individuals best demonstrate ALL-AROUND outstanding service and commitment to the BYC members and community. While maybe not expert educators, they are trusted Educators nonetheless, as well as Friends to all. They are dedicated to the BYC Community as a whole, and strive to help promote, support and uphold its values and goals.
  4. BYC Greeter:

    These individuals are our BYC "Welcome Wagon!" They are the members that are most active in welcoming the new members to our community, especially in the "New Member Introductions" forum. Nominees will be judged on a) How long they've been welcoming new members; b) How many new members they welcome; and c) The quality and friendliness of their welcome.
