I had the surgery this morning. Things were dicey when I woke up in recovery but the nurses helped me.

Of course there's pain but it's manageable. I was bleeding when I got back to my room so they had to change the dressing, my gown, and bed sheets. But it seems to be ok now.

I had lunch and dinner and seem to be tolerating it well.

Thanks everyone for your messages, they make me feel nice.

Happy Birthday @whatever2013!
