I finally had the tumor, Jeremy so lovingly named Tumey, removed from my back. I am so glad to have it gone. The surgery went well, except for it was a little bigger and deeper than anticipated, and at one point I could feel the slicing of fibers that held it to the ligament near my spine because it wasn't numbed deep enough. It hurt so bad I nearly jumped off the table. Other than that, it went swimmingly. I did ask to keep little Tumey, so I could take a picture, but I just realized how disgusting and weird that really is, and I'm sure I'll throw it away soon. But, cheers to no more sleeping sitting up, no more back aches, and hopefully fewer headaches.
