Hi all, just wanted to let everyone know how everything went. It was, quite honestly, not as bad as I thought it would be. I won't pretend it was easy, cause it wasn't. Surgery went very well. Head pain was at the top of the scale the first day but is slowly getting better, although yesterday, I had a really bad day and was prepared to call the doctor's if I wasn't feeling at all better today. I am having head pain, but very tolerable. I have been extremely weak though and am anxious to start feeling just a big stronger. I've never been very good at having to lay low so this is tough for me.

I think you truly just have to listen to your body and don't do anything you shouldn't. Hope to feel better in a couple weeks, at least to the point where I can read and do some of the other things I enjoy.

thanks for your concern and info! I think I'll survive.

Patti
