Surgery went well yesterday.  I am really happy with the UCD system.  I was the Doc's first surgery and made sure to ask him if his day started out good and he was good to go.  My worst irritant (not even pain) is actually my throat from having the breathing tube while being under the anesthetic.  I went in at 6:30, operated at 8:30 and headed home by 2:30.  They gave me an anti nausea patch (same as you wear for sea sickness) and it works.  I slept most of yesterday so had a little trouble actually going to sleep at night, but feel well rested today.  I guess the process has begun -- next step is in about a month...bum bum bum -- that one scares me a little, but will face it when it's time.  Will follow up after my post op appt next week unless anything happens in between but for right now I am doing well.  Thank you all for your kind words, prayers and support!

Oh and....I made it to the World Series ;D

Thanks Geoff!
