Keep your own recovery diary
Take the same three photos on day 7, day 30 and day 90 after your operation. It takes two minutes each time, the page shows you how to hold the phone, and everything stays yours.
Only so we can remind you when the next set of photos is due. You can stop the reminders at any time.
Your surgeon is told that you say he operated on you, and nothing else, until he confirms it. Your phone number and your photographs stay with you until then.
