Nice to hear you are following doctors orders. Sounds like good progress is being made. Swelling after surgery can be expected. Unfortunately it never seems to go away as quickly as we would like. Be careful with the swelling, it can also be a signal for an infection. Glad you are seeing the doc tomorrow, they will check it out to make sure your doing ok. Hope you have a good check up.

Hows the critters? Did you replace the expired one yet?
