After a pretty decent night's sleep, I found that I had a full day where I wasn't in a horrible amount of pain. I felt rested. Shocking! So if the past few days are forming a pattern, then I will be feeling even better tomorrow.
The morning is a little hard eating. Pudding is a good breakfast. Maybe I'll continue that after this two week stint.... My teeth are oddly sore in the morning, as is my jaw. I never thought teeth could become sore, but here we are! It's probably from having them shoved in the sleeping wedge.
Does anyone need a box of kleenex? I have a ton of extras. I was prepared to be a leaky faucet with my eye and that certainly wasn't the case. I am definitely not complaining though!
Around noon today, Ryan started playing the SNL skit from last night that featured Ray Lewis from the Baltimore Ravens played by Kenan Thompson. We are huge Ravens fans. In case you didn't know. And we hadn't seen it.
The video hit about a minute and fourth five seconds in and all the sudden I heard, "I cracked two ribs, Seth. I got a DETACHED RETINA." I almost fell over. Oh wait. I was already laying face down.
It was unbelievable that of all the things for the writers to have put in there- detached retina ended up making the cut.

Six hours later and one game of monopoly with my parents, a whole day passed by. Play a long board game. It will help with the time! Although every other turn I was either sent to jail, paying a $50 doctor fee (which I'd prefer to pay that price in real life as well, Katzen Eye Group, wink wink), or paying a poor tax. A poor tax? C'mon, kick me when I'm down why don't you.
In one week, we will be an hour into a game where I hope no one ends up with a detached retina. I'm five days in and almost to the half way mark of the two weeks. With some more patience, and pudding of course, I'll be watching the Super Bowl through a smaller bubble.
Silver lining: I am at the halfway point- between my surgery and my Friday doctor appointment!
