Post-op update and life in general

I'm 3 1/2 weeks post-op from the arterial problem and healing is going well. The rock-hard golf ball lump under the incision is finally shrinking a bit. It's all very sore and tender but overall pretty good for at this point.

I've had quite a few headaches but not to the point of throwing up at least. Spinal cord pain is another story.

I second interviewed last week and started the job today. I am grateful for home positions for people with disabilities. It isn't much money, and it's temporary, but any money at all will help with the medical debt. I train for 3 hours a day for around 10 days. After that I'll be at 20-25 hours a week, with the Ticket-to-Work program allowing me to maintain Social Security Disability benefits (SSDI).

Speaking of work, I need to get to bed. It will be morning before I know it.
