Hey everyone! I'm alive, the surgery went well, I'm healing, etc. I'm still sleeping more hours than I'm awake and feeling pretty fuzzy -- it's a little disconcerting how tired I get at the drop of a hat -- so I don't know how much I'll be around for the next while. The stitches are coming out on Tuesday, so maybe after that.

Thanks to everyone who sent me well-wishes -- I really appreciated them all. ♥

I had a benign tumor removed from one of my salivary glands. Thankfully it was a) benign and b) pretty superficial, but I did end up with a four inch scar in front of my ear/down my neck, and some temporary nerve issues in my face (some numbness, my left eyebrow won't lift very far) that should resolve once the swelling goes down.

Yikes! I hope those nerve problems go away soon, That sounds frightening. But glad to hear the surgery went well otherwise.

Thanks! I'm really sorry you're having so much trouble, though. *hugs* I hope your new doc will be able to help.
