UPDATE 7/16/2006:

Well it's been a couple of weeks now and it has been healing just as
the Dr. said it would. I have been changing the dressing twice per
day, washing it with hydrogen peroxide, and placing a "dab" of
neosporin on the new non-stick dressing.

It's not totally healed yet, but it is close. The only negative is
that I'm going to have a
[b:7ba39386de]huge[/b:7ba39386de] scar
on my shoulder, but I'll live!

I hope this eases somebody elses mind,

Thanks for the update. The scar will slowly shrink and fade, but will not
disappear.
