Well, 32 hours after the surgery, I was released from the hospital. Had a few fevers, got some well deserved rest, ate some aweful food!!! (it must be a law)
I say that I THINK the surgery is a success because I have YET to speak with the doctor about it. But he felt confident to send me home the next day, so things must be really good!
I hope I'm back on my feet in a few months to play some PAINTBALL!
