Doing OK
I had surgery for Part II of my breast reconstruction this morning in Houston. NEED to have my "girls" match you know, as well as two nipples, not one. 
Things went well - except for the pain. Regular pain medication did not control it, so that means one night in the hospital. I don't mind it though because the food is good and the staff is absolutely wonderful!! The 3 hour ride back to Austin is probably better doing it tomorrow instead of this afternoon. Maybe I can even help Mark drive!!! LOL, j/k. I complicated things by tripping and falling this morning on my sister-in-law's front sidewalk. (More like a head first slide into first base) I ended up with road rash on my upper left thigh, my left knee and abrasions on my left inside palm & outer right palm. This probably contributed to the pain issue.
p.s. It's nice to have Mark's laptop and a wireless connection in my room!!
