The Surgery

Well, the surgery is over, and it would appear that I came through it okay...although, they didn't give me enough local anesthetic to start with, so for the first couple of slices, I could feel everthing...after that was rectified (and trust me...they rectified it), I tried to stay calm by watching my heart rate, which is tougher than you might think. My rate ended up fluctuating between 57 bpm and 90 bpm. Probably the only aerobic exercise my heart will get for a while.
