Angel Update: Hi Everyone, I talked to Susanna yesterday and she is doing great. She had her 1st post op appt. with Dr.S just the other day and has lost 10 lbs. Susanna is already working from home, and is going back to the office next week! Way to go Susanna!!!
Just wanted to say thanks to all who have posted, especially my angel Kim. She has been such a source of friendship, information, and spport. I feel lucky to have found this sight, and a new community of friends.
Angel Update: I received a call from Susanna and she came home this afternoon! She is happy to have the drain out and said she is a little bit sore but is feeling quite well. Now all she has to do is take at easy, enjoy her time off from work, and not try and do too much too soon. :)
Hugs to you Susanna and congrats on making it to the other side!
Susanna,
I am so happy you did so well with your surgery!! You will be in my thoughts and prayers! I wish you the very best for a speedy recovery! I too am in Maryland. I got my surgery date and my approval on Monday. August 8 is my big day! Please feel free to contact me anytime!
Angel Update: I called Susanna around 1:30 p.m. this afternoon and she sounded great! She said she was up, had very little pain or discomfort, was drinking, eating soup and jello, and felt really good. :)
Angel update: I spoke with Susanna's husband about 4:30 p.m. on 5/13/02 He said she did not get in to surgery until about 12 p.m.He said he was the nervous one and she was very calm about the whole thing. :) Her surgery took about 4 hours and the doctor had just come out a few minutes before I spoke with him and said the surgery went well. There were no problems or complications, and Susanna was in recovery and doing well. Her husband expected to be in recovery with her within the hour.
