My Internet at home is down so sending a quick update via mobile posts. First of all - thank heavens for the blogging community! It has been so helpful to go back and check in on how other's recoveries went. I know that this too shall pass.

Second - surgery suckity suck suck sucks!!! I haven't ever had anything like this (besides delivering my daughter). Yuck. So looking forward to having this behind me.

I took my bandages off today and I'm pretty bruised. I have some staples that they'll have to remove and I'm trying not to freak out about that.

I'm having quite a bit of pressure when I drink (and then it lasts for a bit). A little weird burb helps.

Thanks again for all of the past entries that hare guiding the way for me. I'll post a more detailed version when I get to a regular keyboard.

4 days till runny oatmeal - hurrah!!!
