Damn, did I get ahead of myself! I thought things were going so well, but here I am 10 days later with little improvement. This has been absolutely miserable, I think I've met my pain quota for the decade. I spend about 22 hours a day in bed, and the rest in the tub because that's my only form of relief.
So I'm back to the doctor tomorrow. My fear is something isn't right, and they're going to take me back in for more cutting.
Thanks for the well wishes. And thanks to my amazing wife who's been here waiting on me!
