Nose Tube is out!

Dr. P called again, and the nurse convinced him that my nose tube can come out! So, I have now been drinking water out of a cup. I really didn't think I'd be able to do that, since I thought my whole lip/chin area would be numb. Of couse, I have to be careful not to spill it all over me, but I don't think water ever tasted to good!!

Is the tube coming out like that scene in Iron Man??

Wow, you're seriously raising the bar for post-surgery updates. Glad to see you're doing so amazingly well!

Have you had anesthetic before? Do you usually feel really good afterwards? I do - but I think it's pretty rare - don't know anyone else it has that effect on. Biology is darn strange.

Thank god that tube is out and you have been disconnected from the Borg collective.

Laura, I have been under anasthesia before, but it was for a tonselectomy when I was 5, so I don't remember what kind of enery I had then. But I have been very surprised by the amount of energy I do have, in fact I probably pushed it a bit today and am trying to take things easy now.
