This is a picture of me in the operating room. I'm the one face-down on the table and the girl with the thumbs up is my nurse.



This is right after they shaved my head in the surgical suite. The white hat-looking thing that you see was a contraption that they used to hold my head still during surgery. If you look close, you can see where they screwed it right into my head. I've just recently found all the little scabs from the holes. Yuk.



Went back to church for the first time yesterday. When you're recovering from any kind of surgery, you tend to be home where it's quiet. At church, everyone seemed to be moving really fast and talking really loud. At first, it felt a bit confusing but I got used to it. One lady was so glad to see me that she grabbed my neck and hugged me really hard. Since she was 80 years old if she was a day, I refrained from yelling and pulling away. Let's just say that it didn't feel great. People were very gracious and glad to see me feeling better. I have a wonderful church family and have never taken their prayers for granted. Went to lunch and then came home and took a 4 hour nap. The excursion definitely wiped me out.

Today, I'm just glad to not have to go anywhere since my headache is back. It's right where the swollen place is on the back of my head. Unfortunately, I have a sore throat, too. I'm hoping it's just my allergies and I'm not getting sick.

In general, I'm feeling a bit better each day. I get tired pretty quickly but if I just stop and rest, things are fine. God is good!
