Calling Dr. Frankenstein
OK. I'm home. Sore, but home. On top of the initial numbing, they had to give me shots of local anesthetic two more times through the procedure. All I know what that I heard an aweful lot of snipping and felt an aweful lot of tugging back there. He said it was gigantic, much bigger than he figured from before. (EEP!) But it's done and I'm stitched up on my back and behind my ear. Stitches come out early next month. Now off to eat, take some Tylenol, and relax.
