December 10, 2008: 9 days post-op


Winston has suddenly developed a lump at the surgical site. I can push my finger into it and it feels squishy. It doesn't seem to bother him when I do this, but I called AMVS to see what they think. They told me to bring him in so that they can look at it.

When I got there, they determined that it's most likely a seroma that has formed over the fiber tape because it's a foreign body. It should go down over the next several weeks, and could take up to 12 weeks to go away.

Winston has no other symptoms, and he's eating well and walking on his leg. I'm just supposed to watch for changes and call them if something changes.
