I lived!

I actually went through with the surgery. It wasn't near as horrible as I thought it would be. The surgeon actually had to cut all the way down to my tail bone because the cyst was more aggressive and larger than he had originally thought. What was supposed to take 45 minutes to an hour took 2 and half hours. The breathing tube also slipped out when they were turning me, so my throat is a little bit more sore then it normally would be. The incision, from looking at the bandage, seems to be about 8 inches long. It's throbbing a little bit, but I've been taking the percocet every 4 hours to prevent any extreme pain. I haven't slept since I've been home, I'm actually a little bit scared that I'll rip out the sutures in my sleep. They assured me this wouldn't happen, but you never know with me! I'm going to make an attempt to get some sleep now, since I think I've updated everyone I needed to update about my surgery. More to come later!
