Thanks all. I just needed to vent about the chaplain. I'm over it now.

Trying my best today, woke up really stiff and voice wasn't working. Hot tea with honey helped. Also coughing up some nasty yellow mucus, I might have to ask my doc about that. It is probably just a result of the irritation from the breathing tube I had when I was under anesthesia, but there is no mention of it in my "what to expect" papers they gave me and my surgeon was very detailed when he spoke to me and he didn't mention it. I'm just a little concerned because I'm prone to sinus/respiratory infections.
I have gone for a small walk and made my own breakfast this AM. Using some heating pads now to help with the muscle ache. I've only taken ibuprofen today, no hydrocodone, trying to not need the real heavy stuff like that.
