All is good.

Saw the doctor again today, got the tubes taken out of my cheek and everything is healing up nicely. My face is numb still (as it should be for a couple months apparently) but I would definitely rather have that than the horrible pain that I was having before they cut me open. But yup, no worries fans. Your prayers really helped, so thank you everyone. But continue to pray please, because I am sure I will need many more. I finally got some exercise today as well. Went for a nice little 3 mile walk through the city and along the beach. And of course needed a nap soon after. I have had some good naps lately actually. Might be from the pain pills though... either way I have been getting in some solid snoozes. It feels so good not having those stupid tubes in my face anymore!! I know they were crucial for drainage but they were miserable. Eating was such a hassle and accidently biting them was not fun. I have been whipping up some killer, easy to eat meals though. A lot of pan seared and bbqed veggies. I've been grilling them up with a little bit of ham leg as well, with a splash of brown sugar. Pretty tasty. The veggies and fruits here are so fresh and amazing. Actually I am getting hungry now... so hopefully I continue to heal up well and will be able to get back into the water soon! Thank you all again for your prayers and caring. Time to cook!
