Thanks so much, everybody!!

I am infinitely better now than I was and just took Advil last night to be sure the remaining occasional dull pain didn't keep me up. My greatest concern is keeping food out of the hole 'til it fills up. Last night, I did have some nagging slight pain/discomfort in my left ear, as it's right near the affected nerve, but it's so much better than it was!


Thanks, y'all!

LIZARD, on the mend
