Another Christmas Present for Me

Wow, doesn't it seem every Christmas I'm in the hospital getting yet another surgery? Well, this time the doctor came out clicking his heels and singing "ding-dong the witch is dead". He got it all and without compromising the facial nerve as he feared might be the case. It's all good.. my face still works.

I came home last night and feel great today. Aren't these great pictures. Tiffany actually did the operation. They have internet right there in the operating room and she was logged onto AskGeeves.com for the whole thing. Geeves is great. She only accidently cut out one nerve. It was the Taucksmak Nerve (pronounced tôk-smak)... just recently discovered. Fortunately my Shutcherkaikehool Nerve (pronounced shuht-chur-keyk-hohl) is still intact.

Your teenagers might like this close-up of the incision... still got blood on it. Wicked! You can even click on it for a closer shot if you don't have a weak stomach.


Thank you everyone for your prayers, emails and calls. We're especially thankful for the Southern Baptist prayers from the Memphis area... that's my favorite twin mom Letty.

Paul, you are amazing. Your sense of humor is endless! I am in tears over the "shut your cake hole!" Only you would think of something like that in the midst of a surgical procedure. See you in a couple of days!

You are another example of God's sense of humor...look at chu go!! You are always in our prayers, and especially we pray for your doctors and staff...am thinking of sending them some left over Prozac for Christmas. You all keep us hopeful and Happy! Love ya' Shauna
