12-hours post surgery...

[tubbs]

I am kickin' in at home, sitting up and watching the tube/surfing the net.

The bruising is growing but I still feel very minimal pain, if any at all.

I have had some bleading/leackage but nothing too severe...just a ruined shirt.

I am blessed with an extremely supportive wife who has changed some of my bandaging (underneath the larger, wrap around bandage...these bandages absorb the blood), she has gone to Burger King for me (odd vicodin craving?) and done everything to help.

I am very swollen on the chest next to the arm pit areas. 

Last vicodin (taking two at a time right now was about five hours ago).  Just took another celebrex and 500mg. generic keflex (strong antibiotic).  My brain is very much with it and my typos here have been minimized. 

No nausea (yet) and had a very nice hour long nap with the Angels spring training game on in the background...basically, like a mini-vacation.

Summation:  Much easier and much less pain, discomfort and inconvenience then I had anticipated.
