I wanted to say thank you for the thousands of messages I received wishing me well. I read them all. Keeping y'all informed was the catharsis I needed. I went from freaked out to back to myself almost immediately. So thank you again. 2nd surgery went well. I'm in minor pain but mostly I'm just starving. Like Chris Farley in the SNL "Lay off me I'm starving!!!" skit. Love y'all!
