Greg ~

Belated but sincere wishes that you've experienced a successful surgery (by now) and will come through this just fine with no real complications.

Well I am out and on the other side and for all practical purposes I am doing ok. Some facial nerve issues atm that the doctor is not concerned about and really my only other compliaint is the pressure bandage they have on my head. I even got them to lossen it and it still hurts. On a funny note the doctor told my wife the hardest part of the surgery was getting the fat to seal the hole up with. I apprently dont have much in the area they tried to get it from so the drain tube is a bit sore as well.
