  1. A Day of Firsts and it's Only Midday!

    So, I'm 2 weeks and 2 days post op and am feeling really good. Actually, I can't complain really, I've felt fine for the most part since surgery. No vomitting or any other unpleasantness. Just a little pain and discomfort but nothing to write home about.
