When my neice had that surgery, they covered those three incisions with band aid type bandages. When my sister had gall bladder surgery 28 years ago, it was a major thing with a major incision.

LOL :-) Mary, this reminds me of a Crystal story. A bunch of the kids were all hanging out together listening to music. This rap song came in the radio... They were all commenting on how bad it was and one of the kids said, "yeah, that's some of that C Rap.... Everyone laughed, including Crystal. Fast forward about 6 months..... the girls were walking home from the 7-11 when all of a sudden, Crystal starts laughing so hard she about PIHP~! The girls look at her like she's lost her mind. Then Crystal starts saying "C Rap, CRap~! Crap~!, I get it~!" LOL~! :-) kath > > Wrap music!
