Surgery Update

Hello folks! Things are going well, so I thought I'd pop in with an update. Surgery when well. Doctor J. indicated that she found the overactive parathyroid without much trouble. They put me under around 9:45am or so and I started to become conscious around 12:30. Doctors indicated that they put me in recovery around 11:30. The incision cut was on my neck just above the two bones that begin to define your shoulders. It is about one or so inches long. No stitches! They are using some new "glue" like substance that, well, glues the cut together. Pretty cool, eh.

The other really cool thing is that the post pain from surgery has been very little so far. Heavier at first, but has subsided as the day has progressed. That being since I left the hospital and got to my place around 1:30 or so. Then took the drive (okay, passengers drive) to mom's place around 4pm. So now just chill'en the night away till I go to bed later. I also have instructions to place an ice bag on it in half-hour increments. That is half-hour ON, half-hour OFF, etc.

I had a little bit to eat around 5 and my tummy is starting to talk to me. Time to make a phone call and then delve into a little more food. I'm eating light meals right now while I'm in recovery. I'll eat larger meals starting tomorrow.

Well, time to make that phone call, and dig up some food. Cheers!
