Good Progress

I went for my two week post-op appointment today with the surgeon. He said that everything is fine and that I will be able to function normally after another two weeks. He said that he removed a small tumor during the surgery, and I must have looked a little shocked as he spoke because he immediately told me not to worry because it was a common thing with this type of surgery, and said that the tests came back as benign. Whew! The weird thing is that when I told my wife about this later today she said that the surgeon told her about it immediately after the surgery and she told me later that day at home. I don’t remember the conversation at all, but I’ve always been a little goofy with the process of recovering from anesthesia. Good thing there wasn’t a swampland salesman at the surgical center.

I really hope that this is my last accident related surgery for, I don’t know; let’s say the next thirty years or so. I’m feeling much better now with only a hint of discomfort, and the pain is diminishing daily. In two weeks I get to move forward again with my exercises and daily routine. I’ve grown tired of having my wife and my daughter carry things for me and I can’t wait to get things back to normal. Now if only I could fix the whole Red Sox problem this season…

I ran a couple of errands after the doctor’s appointment and then went to the church property in order to get some things ready for Sunday’s services. It’s been a good day and I feel a real sense of accomplishment. Maybe the Red Sox will finish my day in a big way by actually winning tonight. Anything’s possible, right?
