SURGERY

On March 7th we drove to Birmingham to get my pre-admission testing done for the surgery on the following day.  The surgery went well.  The doctor told Allan no wonder I was having so much pain in the TMJ.  We stayed with Yancy.  The following morning, which was my birthday,  Yancy,  Allan and I got up early again to take Yancy for her endoscopy.  We got back earlier than we thought after which I took a nap. I napped quite a bit for several days. The plan was to return to Mississippi and then I would drive back for my 1 week post-op appointment, but I did not feel up to driving that long distance and was not sure if I would be off pain medication.  Allan and Katie returned to Mississippi on Sunday and he returned on Friday to pick me up.  I drove back about 3/4 of the way since he was tired from the drive up that morning.  I only required a few pain pills after the surgery which was wonderful. 

I walked over to the church this week.  The guys have worked hard but the project will not be finished by Easter. 

We have a storm front coming through this week which may change our plans, but at this point we will be leaving here on Saturday morning and driving to the Plantation in Summerdale, Al if they have room for us.  This is Spring break week.  Next week we will amble our way to Sarasota, Florida to visit Allan's brother and his family.
