Thanks Jenna,
That's good to know. I was afraid that I had done something to it on the plane by lifting luggage. It is probably normal then. Right now, I have taken Celebrex for a couple of days to reduce the inflamation and I am taking it easy. I guess that I thought that I'd be Superman just after the surgery. There is a lump there, but I guess that is normal too. It seems to be a large area, but it is still recovering, I'm sure. Good news is that I have already lost four lbs. in only five days. Hopefully the pain will slowly go away and I won't need any emergency trips back to Dr. Ortiz. I am surprised that the strict diet is actually going well and easy to follow. I have Jello, gatorade, boullion, and a little of a slim-fast Optima smotthie shake, which is really good (only had a quarter of the bottle at a time).
