I'm Back... Sort Of

I was joking, before surgery, that I would come out looking like Nearly Headless Nick (of Harry Potter fame)... but I think it's actually more like Frankenstein's Monster, without the bolts.

Pretty much ear to ear, across the front of my neck.

But I have a voice.

And the back of my neck probably hurts more than the front, which mostly feels a little squeezed still.

I told Randall he should take a picture of my flesh wounds so that in a year, when I'm bummed out by the scar, I can look at the picture to see that it IS better than it was.

I really shouldn't be writing, I think, as the room is still swimming a bit... but, there you have it.

I'm home. I'm self-medicating. I'm mending.

That's enough for now.

: )

  5. Frankenstein's Monster, eh? Alright!! So gruesome!

    You and Dave L. can sit and compare neck scars in the very near future, although I think you'll have it over on him.

    We're happy that you're heading towards recovery, scar and all! Oh, and don't forget neck scarves are "in" these days!
