Medical Update

I'm back from surgery and all went well. I do feel like someone with very pointy toed cowboy boots had their way with my ribs but the pain medication seems to be taking the edge off of it. I am to avoid lifting anything that weighs over ten pounds for the next week which will make it tough on me when I am trying to get the dogs to bed at night as only Kelis weighs under that magic number. Paul and his girlfriend were here last night and all day today to fetch and carry for me. They went home this evening but Paul has promised to return tomorrow to help out around here. I hope that the pain goes away soon so I can stop taking the pain meds and get on with the projects I want to begin.
