A Few Minutes Break of Recovery

I just pushed the morphine drip button, so I may have just a few minutes to leave a small update here.
I've been having internet problems and unable to post to blog. While its currently working, I wanted to briefly check in.
The surgery went well.
The surgeon is shocked at the toxic hell he found to remove.
He said it was 10 inches long. I'll look up what a normal one should be, soon, unless one of you knows and leaves it in comment. The surgeon said its the largest he's ever seen.
I've had three ultrasounds of it, over the last few years, for many different reasons. The surgeon even said, when he saw the ultrasound that it appeared large, but normal and he couldn't remove it unless the nuclear test proved it bad, which it did.
It has been sent to pathology. He said he feels its been in its state of hell, growing, etc, for YEARS.
When I talked to my mother, a little while ago, I reali zed my head didn't hurt.
Any of you that really know me, know I'm plagued with headaches and migraines. My head hurt, last night, after I started the morphine and was real bad just before surgery.
It will be extremely fascinating to see what other illness, ill-effects, etc, that I have been living with, including shoulder pain and back pain change as I recover more...
more later..
