On Thursday my daughter drove me back to Paris. Friday morning I went in for oral surgery. Not fun but to be honest it wasn't too bad. I slept through the procedure, a drug induced sleep but sleep none-the-less. Then afterwards I had some really good meds so I floated through the weekend. In between bouts of nausea and hours of sleeping I felt pretty good. I was on a liquid diet for a while. I'm sorry... there may be the same amount of nutrients ingested in liquid form but it just doesn't seem to fill you up as much a nice juicy steak will. I am feeling better today, four days later. Still a little pain but over-all much better.
Also on Friday my brother went in for a cholecystectomy, Gallbladder surgery. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholecystectomy He went in for the laparoscopy, which is where they make four small incisions and practically suck the gallbladder out. Unfortunately his gallbladder was so diseased they had to do the abdominal incision and open him up to remove the gallbladder. He now has a scar which can rival mine, which ironically is from the very same type of surgery.
We went to see him Saturday night and he was having quite a bit of pain. He is doing really well now and will be going home tomorrow. Saturday we went for a two hour drive to visit my niece, her husband and their beautiful four day old baby boy. He is absolutely adorable. I will write more about him tomorrow and I will post pictures! He is such a doll.
Now, I think maybe I have caught you up on my recent events.
