Post 20th

Surgery went great! I cannot begin to express how happy I am with the results of this operation. Even though I am still puffy, I can already tell the difference. I once again have a nice round head thanks to two amazing surgeons, and best of all I no longer have an open wound on my right temple.
During pre-op, my surgeon told me that I should expect to stay in the hospital for a minimum of five days, this did not make me very thrilled.  Thankfully, my body remembered how to bounce back after major surgery and I was able to go home two days after surgery.
While in the hospital one of many wonderful nurses jokingly said that I looked like Sally from Nightmare Before Christmas. After looking in the mirror, I agree!
So I currently have a shaved head and stitches running from my forehead down to my right eye and back around my head. I thought that having a shaved head would be awful, but it's not.

Surgery Update

Today I found out that I am having surgery on Wednesday. That is Wednesday, January 17th. Yes, that is less than a week away but when you are talking about two surgeons having the same available date and an operation near my brain... you take what you can, even in this circumstance.
So, I am left with four days to adequately prepare myself and to make sure I leave as many things organized at work as possible.

To say I am anxious is to minimize it, even though this is my 20th surgery I can't help but feel this way. Afterall, I am having major surgery and that is not easily digested.

I will keep you all posted with any and all updates, but for now, I will leave you with this song because it has taken me many years to get to this point and I am not about to let a surgery push me back!
