***Home from Johns Hopkins, surgery DONE!!! [View all]

Now cool of the house, organize a few things, and prepare for post-op visits to GP, tomorrow and Monday. Details later. LOVE Hopkins' staff.

HOT here, so will take a while to settle in, and wait for TYLENOL acetaminophen to kick in, had to go to grocery store to pick it up (with wound covering 'hidden' by a cap. My head/hair does not look great NO pain of note, really. but slight ache in my side.

Onward!!!
