Thank you Joy! And tell your Mom to hang in there! It's been 10 months for me now, and i'm still sore. But when i think back of what it was like when i first got out of the hospital, i don't let a little soreness get me down.
That pic of me in the hospital was taken by my wife when i was in the ICU right after surgery. If you look at the right side of my neck, you can see the tube still in my jugular vein. I was still "out" at that point. But i told my wife to take pictures of me. I knew that if i survived, i'd want to see what it looked like. So she took LOTS of pictures. I'm glad she did, as my memory would go in and out of consciousness.
