Hi Emily. Hope you're feeling better :ohmy:

thank you everyone for the well wishes! i'm really happy i have made this decision... despite the pain. haha. well.. i'm feeling a little better. walking definately helps. but i'm still very swollen and can't eat much. hopefully that will pass in a few days. how is everyone else doing?
