3rd Day Post Surgery

It’s very unpleasant as I write this so I’ll make it quick. The operation was a success and I’m still alive. It took 10 hours in all – unlike the 4 hours I was told before-hand. I don’t remember all that much anymore of the surgery including the day after so I can’t comment much. The last few days, however, have been extremely tough. There wasn’t nearly as much pain as I expected – its been really well taken care of to where its nearly a non-issue. The biggest problem I currently face, though is breathing problems. It seems as though I can’t expand my lungs enough to take a full breath.
