Post-Op Day 2

I had a little ganglion cyst removed from my wrist, and also a tiny little cyst removed from the tip of my middle finger, early yesterday morning.  Of course, as would be my luck, both hands were involved, so I was mostly useless yesterday, laying around with both hands iced, and propped on pillows.  But today is a totally different story.  I'm really surprised at how good I feel.  I know the doctor told me it wouldn't be bad, and that I would be back to work on Monday with just band-aids, but I expected at least a little more pain than I've had.  I'm thrilled at how I'm doing.  Just a little tylenol, and I'm mostly fine.  Granted, I can't lift anything very heavy, and I don't have full dexterity right now, but overall, I'm having a "normal" day.   Especially with a little (OK, alot of) help from the H.H. and from Jack.

Tonight is our church's major fall fundraiser - a chicken dinner, and I didn't get any desserts made for it "pre-op" on Thursday night.  I was feeling bad that I wasn't contributing this time, so Jack helped me out by whipping up some brownies.  I love the fact that he likes to cook.  And the fact that he's getting good at doing alot of it on his own. 

With my "semi-down" time, I have been able to get a little bit caught up on my Picture Of The Day page.  I may not be able to type very fast, but I can type, and thanks to spell check, it ends up alright.  Hopefully, I can get completely caught up, and then keep up on it.  I've had to manipulate the dates a little to keep the pictures in order, and I hope I'm keeping that all straight.  Lots more updates until I'm finished, but I'm at least finally making headway!
