Surgery Day!

Christine’s husband here.

She wanted me to thank all the well-wishers yesterday, by phone and text and to give you all a quick update. She is out of surgery and her surgeon said that all went as well as we could have hoped. She is in recovery and expected to have her first PT session this afternoon. I’m sure she’ll update later, but warns that she may be loopy as the day is long. She also sends her appreciation and told me that the good wishes helped keep her calm and positive.

Cheers!

Quick update from me: Been a long day, but surgery went well. Had a scary episode post-surgery, but doing well now. Already up for a few tics, but the vagaling (fainting) made everyone a bit cautious. It was me that pushed to get up and walk an hour after surgery, so clearly my ambition got ahead of my ability, hence the vagal. Husband and son have been terrific, and Hopkins has been exemplary so far. Thanks for the good thoughts, positive energy, and prayers in the lead up to the big day. I appreciate them more than I can express at the moment.
