Re: They just brought my daughter back to her room from surgery......

[Guest guest]

Just wanted to congratulate you and your daughter on a sucessful

(sp?) surgery! Hope the recovery goes just as smooth! I bet she is

glad to be on " the other side " now. Can't wait to hear her accounts

on how it went. Best wishes, TLC (3mo post op SARPE & pre-op for

upper and lower)

You and she will be happier if you stay. Be sure the nurses know

about the nausea. There are drugs to help with that.

If she's smiling, glad to see you, with no bad pain, she's doing well

indeed!

Don't worry about us -- but thanks for letting us know! She'll be in

good hands, and she sounds like she's headed for a rapid recovery.

The ice will help with the swelling, and with the pain -- you'll

probably use it for the first 48 hours, or, of course, as your docs

instruct, and then switch to heat.

So glad it all went well. You've had a long day of it, and so has

she. You'll probably have a long night -- and the next couple of days

may be tough for her. But you're on the way. Conserve your energies

and hers, do not hesitate to stay ahead of the pain with her, using

whatever chemicals the docs prescribe. She is fortunate to have you

with her, and both of you are doing an excellent job!

--Welcome to the other side. You (and she) must be so relieved.

Congratulations!!

Hi and thanks for updating us on your daughters surgery. I'm guessing

since she was the 10am your daughter is ?? Just curious, wanted

to make sure I got my friends and their times right...

Tell her we are thinking about her,

Excellent!

So glad to hear your daughter is doing so well! Smiling! Gives me

much-needed inspiration. She's very lucky to have a dad like you.

I hope things go better and better for her as the days go by.

Continued healing for your daughter,

Irish!

I thought of her at 10:30 this morning & hoped she was doing great.

Sure sounds like she is. Glad she has you with her. She will always

remember how you were there for her. Give her our best. Thanks for

letting us know how she is.

Hi Mark, it's incredible that you have posted already. Thank you so

much for letting us know that she is out of surgery and doing well.

Please give her my best and tell her, is she needs to talk to a post-

op, I'm here for her and for you. I'm 5 months post-op and couldn't

be happier with the outcome. I'm so thankful that I went through

with it.

I'm glad everything went well. It's great that your daughter is in good

spirits.. Only a special dad would spend a night in the hospital with her.

She is one special girl!! Welcome to the other side!
