had my surgery 8 days ago today. slow and steady wins the race. the first few days in the hospital were hell. there's just very little relief or comfort available right after the face, and i had trouble with a lot of the painkillers they tried, as well as a potassium IV drip that felt like it set my arm on fire.

I was only in the hospital for 3 nights, but it felt like forever, and I was glad to get home, and be able to take my pain meds on time, and rest when I wanted, and mostly to get all those IVs and junk out of me.

I'll post again in a week or so. Getting my staples out this coming Monday.
