I don’t usually use cut tags, but these photos of my leg in varying stages of healing are a little gruesome.  The first photo was taken right after they removed the post-surgical bandages, so it’s a week healed at that point.  The most recent one is how it looks now.  There are no photos of the injury before surgery.  As I lay in the emergency room, Billy offered to take some for me, but I discovered that I deeply believe that no man should have to look upon his own bones.  I declined.
