First, sorry about not posting an update yesterday after surgery, but it lasted about eight hours and I was really out of it afterwards.

Second, the surgery was successful (thank Dog for robotic pull through!) but I needed two small skin grafts. Which means I’m confined to bed rest and as little movement as possible until Tuesday afternoon, a full five days, to give the grafts their best chance to “take” and begin healing.

Third, I’m not in too much pain now unless I move the “wrong” way or I cough or sneeze. Those actions are definitely unpleasant, oh yeah. Otherwise pain is mild. I’m even able to sleep okay except when I’m woken for medications, taking vitals or emptying my various drains. Something that seems to happen every half hour to an hour.

Fourth, thank you all for the wonderful and kind well wishes. They mean so much to me. Unfortunately, it’s not easy for me to respond personally to them now as typing this message on my phone took waaay too long. So please know that I love and appreciate you.

🤗🥰💖
