Monkeys and Shiners

Wednesday, 11th: Oh, yestereday, we forgot to mention that Michele had quite a bit of very annoying, and often painful swelling on the left side of her face and around her left eye. All normal, we were assured...just post-op fluid looking for somewhere to pool before getting re-absorbed. This afternoon, the swelling is almost gone. Now she just looks like she's recovering from a barroom brawl, and is sporting an impressive shiner. It's a bit yellow today...I'm sure it'll go through the lovely green and purple stages. I would love to follow its progress photographically, but I don't dare. So, I'm posting a much less interesting, "squishy" picture instead. She'll probably hate it, and I'll have to take it off, so enjoy it while you can!
