Patty's surgery
« on: June 26, 2009, 11:00:12 am »
I hadn't  seen if anyone had checked the surgery of Patty (alwaysthere) on Thurs on her on the site called the status.      So I checked and she has done very well.     They got the all the tumor and today she is out of ICU and to a room.        No facial issues and no big balance issues so far according to her husband who has had a relative do the update.
          Good news to hear!                                     Cheryl R

Thanks, Cheryl for reminding us about that. I was wondering too and I forgot she was posting to the status. I need to go find her login info.
I hope your upcoming surgery goes well too.

Thanks,

Cheryl .....

Thanks for the update on Patty.  I thought about her all day yesterday and wondered how she did in her surgery.  Glad the report is good.

OK, I'm going to play the ignorant one here ..... what is "the site called the status?"   :-[    If Patty had referred to it in a pre-op post, I missed it or did not know what it was.

Thanks!  Clarice

Cheryl ~

Thanks for the update and the link (it works).  Apparently, Patty had a smooth surgery and is having a fabulous recovery with no complications.  This is splendid news!  God bless her.

4.5 cm AN diagnosed 5/06.  Retrosigmoid surgery 6/06.  Follow-up FSR completed 10/06.  Tumor shrinkage & necrosis noted on last MRI.  Life is good. 

Life is not the way it's supposed to be. It's the way it is.  The way we cope with it is what makes the difference.
