My son will post until I feel up to it. I will have a netbook at the hospital and hopefully I will feel like it soon. I have a weird way of when I can't sleep I mess in front of the computer. Maybe doing nothing than re-reading stuff but I should feel like saying Hi eventually! I did last time with the tongue...but this is much more involved.

That is why I am up now...took medicine and hurt too badly to sleep but can't hardly stay awake. The infected lymph node is very swollen and has made by neck, chin, back of head and ear swell. Feels like I slept on the whole side of my head wrong and I can't even sleep on that side!

I will just trade one pain for another...and hopefully the newer pain will get better instead of worse, like this pain is. :o(

Wish is was today as originally planned. I am ready!
