Doc says I'm lookin alright.

Just saw the doc and he tells me everything is looking pretty good. It was supposed to be a 30 minute surgery, but ended up taking closer to an hour and half. He did an extremely thorough clean out and took extra precautions for other infection. He said I should be doing good in no time, as long as I avoid anymore spiders with my face. Tomorrow the tubes should be coming out, but the stitches will stay in for a few more days. Doc told me that I should regain feeling in my cheek and lips within a few months, so I wont be a total goober forever. The swelling should go down in a few days as well hopefully. I look like I got rocked by Mike Tyson in his early years, or maybe even his later years, he looks like he still has it. I am just glad it all seemed to work out so well, and I was able to jump into surgery so fast. I'd rather it happen here where the doctors are awesome and the hospitals are super clean than in somewhere in Indo.. I just really have to avoid spiders and creatures in Indo, and Australia and everywhere else actually... I am going to purchase a biohazard suit to do the rest of my exploring in as to avoid any further unfun exposure to dangerous creatures/things. I am actually not that upset about the bite or the surgery and whatnot, it's the fact that I cant go exploring around more of New Zealand because of it. I have about 2 weeks left here and I mean best case in a week I will be good enough to go out, in which case i might just cruise around the north island for the week before flying to Aus. I will definitely be coming back to NZ though. Regardless. I love this place. Anyway, keep praying for me please. I need all the help I can get.
