Life is about risks and rewards...

Hi all. How is everyone - hopefully really fantastic? Michael and I are doing great. He has been really busy at work but still really enjoys it. We are still training Ralph, but he hasn’t had an accident in over two weeks so we’re making great progress. Today we started to learn the “sit” command and introduced the “come” command. Come is a little

Eee! So it went well?? That's so awesome! Did it hurt? That's what scares me.

For the actual surgery - no pain what so ever. You are completely numb. It's actually a weird feeling - hard to describe. Afterward it was like I had been reading all day - my eyes felt really tired. On Saturday I had some shoots of pain in my right eye. Not extremely painful more like a quick stab and then gone. My doctor sent me home on Thursday with a prescription for Vicaden - I called him Friday night when the pain started and he saw me Sat morning at 9:30 am to check it out. He said to put ice packs on and spend as much time with my eyes closed as possible - take some pain pills and sleep. I did and by Sunday I was fine. No pain since then at all

Yeah for you!

Wow! You are so cool with the risk-taking. Hell, when I have surgery there's like this count-down, partly so I can plan, partly because I'm nervous, and mostly for the attention. You just jumped in and didn't even tell anyone until the worst part (the actual event and first couple of days after--worst part no matter what procedure you have done) was over.

People can't send get-well cards if you don't give them a heads-up, and Hallmark doesn't make a "I heard you had some medical stuff this one time that I didn't know about" card. Either you need to learn to milk this shit, or I'm doing it all wrong.

Just for the record, you are the only "secret surgery" person I know, so if the law of averages can be counted as evidence, milking friends for attention is really the norm.

Sheesh, with your bravery and strong self concept and risk-taking skills.

Love you, get well and congrats!

You are giving me way too much credit. It wasn't a secret it just happened really fast and also I didn't really want people to talk me out of it. If I had to have a major surgery where my life was in danger - I would tell everyone about it as soon as I knew and look for support. This wasn't really the same, but thanks for thinking so highly of me. Keep it coming - just kidding - no I'm not - of course I am - well okay if you really feel that way :-)

Love you!
