Surgery seems to have gone fine. I'm still a little loopy from meds. The pain is tolerable, but like I said I have some good potent drugs in me. I did get finished pretty quick. But what is funny, is I set a new bar in post op. I arrived and was the typical, pretty out of it, but then in a matter of minutes, I was talking and joking and making the other patients and nurses laugh. They said I was the first person they could ever remember being happy in Post Op. I was released about 5 times faster expected from Post Op. I was definitely feeling every bit of the meds, as I couldn't feel my face, hands feet, or any other body part, except a little bit of my stomach where the surgery occurred. But I was very lucid and answering and talking about some complex issues. A couple of the other patients and few nurses all asked, "Are you sure you (or he) just had surgery?" We'll see how the next few days go, as I'm supposed to rest and follow a bunch of rules, as well as take some meds to help me recuperate. I'll know more about what happened, how long it took, whether it was very successful, what they found or didn't find, etc... soon enough. Thanks for all your PRAYERS!! Justin Taylor
