It turns out that my surgery wasn't so bad.  It was the MIGRAINE at 5am on Thursday that sucked a LOT!  I barely felt the surgery or any pain from it since the migraine lasted for days.  I became an Imitrex junkie.  I finally kicked it by popping an Imitrex- Excedrin cocktail, which I was expressly forbidden to do.  Aspirin is a blood thinner, but I couldn't take the pain anymore after 3 days and figured my blood had clotted enough.  So, migraine is gone, face looks like Frankenstein, and stitches come out tomorrow.  Oh joy!  Then, I catch a plane a few hours later to the bitter cold North.  I wonder if I'll get searched more or less with highly visible recent facial scarring.  I'll keep you posted.
