Its 4:30. Just woke up to get my dose of Oxy, Tylenol, and Heparin. Pain is tolerable, but always there. I was up walking yesterday and my catheter was taken out too. I had no problem going to the bathroom afterwards. In fact, I’ve been peeing like Austin Powers in the first movie after he’s cryogenically frozen they have him go to the bathroom and he just keeps on going and going.

I couldn’t make it, obviously, but have been getting pictures from them from the trip. They’re below…
