Post Op

Well, as of today I am 4 days post op. Physically I feel pretty good all things considered. My flexibility and mobility exceed what I expected and the pain is manageable. Emotionally its good and bad I suppose. I know its for the best, but its still a little rough looking down and seeing nothing there. And then there is the phantom pain. I can still feel them even though they aren't there any more. Its difficult to explain, really. Overall, right now the good outweighs the bad.

I did find out while in the hospital that someone I really respected passed away Tuesday night from cancer. He will be greatly missed. His memorial service is Monday night. It will be difficult to attend, but I feel it is necessary for closure.
