I feel much better today.  My neck is barely stiff anymore, but it still hurts to move my head sometimes because the stitches tug the skin.  The swelling has gone down a lot, as has the pain.  I must have decreased my pain medications by at least half.  The incision is starting to drain now and it's really gross.  My hearing is a little better and my ear doesn't hurt as much.  There's just a little pressure.  Still dizzy all the time though.  Vertigo - not the normal "unsteadiness."
