Glad you are healing, Arkady. That piece of metal could have caused you some problems (and interesting explanations) when going through airport security! 🙂
I think they realized something got left behind when they put away the tray of instruments, etc. Then they verified it w/ CAT scans. Since surgery was ‘least invasive’ it wasn’t a matter of checking before they sewed me up – I wasn’t open to begin w/. They didn’t want to delve further then because of the rampant infection I already had.
It seems like there should be some kind of safe imaging device to detect surgical detritus before the oepration is over. Is there? Or maybe it is a risk of surgery that they can only detect afterwards???
im sure it was a nurse that probably left something inside of you. am i right? glad your surgery went okay tho.

I was worried that if I ever had an MRI again it would come tear-assing out my gut.

Arkady, you’re rare & understanding – most would sue big time
ARod looks good physically. he is the slimmest I’ve seen him at since his skinny young kid days

CGar, reliable source is hard to come by hence multiple requests for brownies are needed.
