June 18th

I have a bit more pain today, and the numbness in my right thigh is spreading-- I am hoping that this is just a passing phase with the aftermath of the surgery. Doing anything that involves my abdominals is a little painful. I have taken a few of the narcotics perscribed to me in order to sleep a little, but otherwise, I am actually doing pretty well. I still cannot believe how quickly this has happened . . .
Sarah has been very supportive during this process and although it is still hard for us to talk about our worry, I am truly thankful that I have someone to share this with.
