I admit, I too had "leaky eyes", when I looked at my chest after the bandages first came off. I was both surprised and embarrassed by the tears, but my sense from Garramone was that this was a common reaction.
You're YOU finally, you know? That is some powerful shit right there!
So, what is the scoop on the one drain?
