Praise God! That is great news that everything went wonderfully and she is in recovery. I can't wait to hear from CL on how her recovery is going. I hope she is enjoying the well deserved drugged rest she is getting! God Bless CL and take it easy, K

Thank-you all for the well wishes and prayers, good friends. Cindylou here. I just wanted to pop my head in briefly and say hi! Today is day 2 post-op, and i am still a bit weary. Will post with more energy tomorrow.

Hi Everyone,

Sitting seems to be my biggest challenge to date. I knew this going into this surgery. Dr. Stark made me aware of this. So, up down, up down for me right now. I worked with the OT quite a big this morning, learning how to use the grabber again, the walker, etc. Still need the PT for learning how to use crutches again. Hopefully, she'll be by this afternoon. Dr. Stark asked me early this a.m., during rounds if I wanted to go home. I said yes, for sure, but not sure how realistic it is, since I am still on the PCA pump. We are cutting back on that, as we speak, to wean me off. The OT thinks I am doing really well, thus far. So that is encouraging. That's about if for now. I'm getting groggy again. Thanks to everyone for all the prayers and well wishes.

More later,

Cindylou
