Taking stock, 14 days post surgery

All indications are that I am doing very well:

• The incision that was superglued closed has healed up well without ugly wormy look and the external bruising has disappeared
• I am down to taking 1 acetaminophen every 4 hours as I sleep so my pain is almost gone
• All fluid is staying off
• I can dress myself and take a shower which means I have no problems lifting my arms over my head
• My appetite is fair but that is ok
• I have no problems doing the exercises that the physical therapist recommended
• The cardiologist gave me ok today to start taking vitamins and fish oil again
• I am able to do crossword puzzles again which means I have thrown off all the fuzziness caused by the pain medications
• I get tired but not as easily as before the operation, part of that is the ferrous sulfate I am still taking

So, I credit the wonderful doctors and nurses and all the good thoughts and prayers of family, friends, and acquaintances.  Thank you all.
