I posted a couple of these photos to Zentastic when I got home from the hospital last night, but I thought I’d post the full set here. As you know, last year I found out that I had a bone tumor in my right leg just below the knee that was starting to affect my mobility as well as having caused about twenty years of chronic pain. After the biopsy was done, I had Chino tattoo Matthew 5:30 in script above it to help me deal with it —
Matthew 5:30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
I find that “physicalizing the way I’m feeling” helps me to deal with things that are emotionally or intellectually upsetting to me, I think because it makes them tangible in a way that gives me symbols to think about them with, even though of course nothing has really changed. That said, I’m also a bit of a narcissit, haha, so one of the things I was really hoping was that I’d be able to get a surgical photo of this tattoo during the procedure of removing the tumor, because it was so appropriate. Anyway, the doctors were kind enough to snap a number of great photos of the procedure!
That’s an after photo; here are a few others from the procedure:
Everything seems to be healing really well by the way, although it’s just been a few days.
BME/News and Modblog highlight only a small fraction of what
Wow. So glad that you are doing okay!! Hope the healing continues in a super positive direction. And I just have to ask.. did they let you keep part of the tumor?

For some reason it looks to me like some cozy alien cave you could just curl up and read a nice book in.

I think one of the anesthesiologists took the photo — if I remember right, he mentioned that he even had the exact same camera!

It’s funny that some people see this and think cozy alien cave and others can’t stand to look at it.
I really like the beauty and delicateness of the tattoo in contrast with the gruesomeness of the incision.
Glad you’re doing good and hope you continue to be well.

Either way, good luck with the recovery and all 🙂

I’m not really bothered by the blood and such, I rather like the photos with the contrast between the tattoo script’s delicateness and the gaping hole (just as manini said).
I hope the healing continues well, and you can soon say goodbye to the pain.

I’ll be honest, I had no idea that that’s what it looked like on the inside of a leg, and I’ve watched plenty of surgical shows.
I would’ve never guessed that somebody would take pictures for you during a surgical procedure. Did they have to sterilize your camera? haha

Now if only I had thought to ask my dentist to take some snapshots whilst doing my root canal yesterday! Haha. Just kidding. Glad everything went ok for you. I think it’s brilliant that you’ve got some pictures to look back at, especially with such a meaningful tattoo sitting nicely above. Philosophically gross.

at first glance, i thought “WHAT THE FUCK, GROSS.” but then became hypnotized by the gaping wound and now i just think it’s pretty effing neat, especially that the doctors were nice enough to take the photos. either way, glad you’re doing swell!

Damn.. those are some shots. But I hear ya’ on getting something to symbolize it. I got hit by a car on my scooter and broke my femur in two so I got a tattoo of my femur halves and the little piece that is floating around. I’m still recovering but I’m getting there. Hope the surgery was a complete success.

Nick: The tumor is a probably about half way in size between a golf ball and a tennis ball.
Derek: I agree, that’s a GREAT book!

wow, your doctor is quite the photographer! I like that he got a shot with little strands of flesh being pulled on both sides. It makes a nice picture. And im glad you could make something positive of your surgery 🙂

THIS IS AWESOME. not so awesome that you had the tumor in the first place, but definitely really cool that you have some nice, clear pictures from the procedure. i just really appreciate this kind of stuff.. when i was a kid i used to watch those live surgeries they used to air on PBS. my favorite was when they replaced a woman’s knee cartilage, which had worn away over the years, with like a plastic thing. reeally cool.

What happened to the draping, shaving, and iodine? Isn’t that standard procedure? Whatever the case, I hope it heals quickly and completely. So glad to hear everything went as planned.

it’s like train-wreak syndrome.. it’s pretty gross, so you want to look away. yet it’s so gruesome and fascinating at the same time.
it totally amazes me how beautiful the body is on the outside, smooth and even, and then when you actually see inside, it’s very complex and made up of SO many different kinds of tissues and whatnot… it’s weird to know that such a beautiful body is so… horrifying (for lack of better word) on the inside.
good luck with healing, Shannon, i hope everything goes well for you!!

Hope you get all better and stuff soon Shannon – was wondering when the op was…
and heh, if you do loose the ability to walk, you’ll just *have* to spend more time with the lovely people of ModBlog…
in all seriousness though, I hope they’re giving you some damn good painkillers!

Isa – They don’t shave for surgical procedures any more because they found that it increases the rates of post-operative infection, and there’s definitely iodine, it’s just not obvious in the photos…

I wish I could have kept the lump — I asked them if I could but they said that they couldn’t due to followup analysis (I believe their exact words were “you know, CSI shit” — seriously) and medical waste disposal laws.

Oh…the big open hole in the leg! I want to play with it!
Oh…the big open hole in the leg! I want to play with it!
Yuck!
Actually it reminds me of, as a kid, my mother opened a big hole in her arm on a shard of broken pot (she had been washing dishes, dropped a big pot, and her arm fell and slashed on it) and so she had to gather us to go to the hospital to get it sewed.
Before she was married she had a job as a medical illustrator, and so she was fascinated looking in there. My sister liked it too, they were saying “oh, my, look at the fat parts” and what. My father and I, just thought, we might faint. But I remember those little pearly bits… Eurgh 🙂
All worked out well though, and hopefully it heals well for you too.
Lately I suppose I have a “duelling scar” (got hit in the head and knocked across the room with a door, it’s leaving a big vertical mark across my eyebrow, I don’t really mind, which surprised those sewing it up). But no chunks gone.
IF I needed bits removed, I too would want them. Ideally in a paperweight. I can sort of understand the biohazard argument, but… it’d be nice if they had a service they could seal it up and send it along later! With felt on the bottom…

Wow, I’m usually totally squicked by surgery type photos, but this is somehow, artistic?
Also: the first thing I thought when I saw these, was, “omg he’s so hardcore he refused anesthetic just so he could get these awesome shots!” haha!

Wow, those are some amazing photos. Very awesome. Glad to hear you got through okay and are healing well 🙂 I know you have to wait until you’re fully healed to be completely out of the woods, but I was wondering if this means you’ll likely be able to keep your leg now?
I’m not Christian, but it’s very poignant to see the scripture above the wound like that. I wish you the best in your recovery!

I think THIS one might be too explicit for a non-blurred picture. Don’t get me wrong, I was fascinated, but it might have been nice to have had a moment to prepare myself.
Echoing the above sentiments, good to know you’re well. Hope that whole “20 years of chronic pain” thing is finally over.
Also, you think you might make a diagram, to point out what’s what inside there?
