karen,

I am glad you are doing well. My only frustration is the pian meds.

They gave me percocet and everytime I take one I pass out asleep.

So, I trying to ween myself off the pain meds and on to advil. The

breathing as gotten easier I can breathe thru my nose most of the

day with help of a decongestant and nasel spray. My swelling is

starting to go down. If you didn't get a chance to look I posted

some pics of me under Fry in photos. I am waiting to get

some more pics and will post updates. The feeling is starting to

come back in my lip I think. Its been constanly tingling feeling. I

don't know if I want to feel that yet since I know the stitches

under my lip are still healing. Talk to you soon.
