Glad you woke up, too! : )

And I'm glad to see that you are in good spirits and that you are doing well 5 days out from having a Whipple surgery.

Thanks for the YouTube video as it puts things in perspective in real time with all that it entails regarding your Whipple surgery and your recovery.

I look forward to future updates.

Here's hoping for you a speedy and uneventful recovery!

Today is day 7 and my first full day at home. Pain management is the biggest hurdle. We tried three drugs in the hospital. There were several issues when moving from IV medicine to oral. And several pain breakthroughs which are very hard. At home, we are working with oxycodone for a few days and Tylenol. The pain is significant. The good news is that I slept for about eight hours last night. Glorious!
