Well the good news the swelling and the fluid under the skin isn't a sign of something terribly wrong. It appears that the the skin never fully attached itself back to the muscles and bone after surgery so a pocket for fluid was building up under the skin. (laymen terms as the words the doctor used were all Greek...) The Doctor drained the fluids and put Zoey on some antibiotic's, just in case. Zoey does get to wear this stylish purple "shirt" for the next week and half. It's supposed to help aid in the attachment of that skin to the muscle and bone. The only problem is, no more river or running for awhile.
