Thanks again, guys.

Well, it’s setback time, and I feel like crap. My pain meds ran out Sunday night, and I’m feeling things that were previously masked . . . like some chest pain. I know it’s normal, but it really has me down. And that’s normal too. Just something I’ve gotta get through.

Go get your meds! Or better yet, have someone else get them!

And best of luck on a full recovery.

The rest of the cow was delicious! 😛

My doctors were very good about making sure I had access to as much pain relief as I needed. They tried several different pain killers and we found one that worked best they were awesome about making sure I had enough.

No reason you need to be in excessive pain after this procedure.

I’d search around for some high-grade heroin to send you, but everyone over here just does methamphetamine nowadays.
