Update on Carla Kay

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

Wow, being the one waiting while surgery is going on can sure whipe

a person out, we should all give our husbands and families a big hug

for all they do for us. I told Kumar I'd almost prefer being the one

cut on than being at the hospital for almost 16 hours waiting. Met

tons of great women waiting for friends and relatives having

surgery, even helped do a 500 piece puzzle with two ladies, had a

good time talking to them for the first five hours. I was the last

one there,and for five hours I was in charge of the phone from ICU/

Recovery when the volunteer went home,when they called to update

family members.

Carla X-Rays look terrific, awesome correction of her Kyphosis, and

she now has a very pretty backwaist. Kumar took a large wedge to

crank her up at L-2 I believe he said. Everything Bonnie relayed is

what I remember,since I had been up since 4 a.m. and it was 10 P.M.

when he finished. He was very pleased,and I'm so happy for her!

I'm off to buy brake shoes for the car I took up there, just as we

got to the hospital there was awful grinding, isn't always just

something! Then I'm coming home and sleeping, I'll update you this

evening when I talk to ICU again, and I'll see if we can send her E-

Mails and How!
