I have spoken to Phylly a couple of times today. I have to say that she sounds great! It's bee a rough ride but it sounds like they are getting the pain under control. She's been up and out of bed already and hopes to get up more today. Sounds like all great news!
All the best, Mark

Glad to hear that things went well! I bet you are weak. A six hour surgery can take a lot out of you!
Take it easy & rest. We'll be here waiting for your updates! Karin

Phylly, so good to "hear" your voice post-op. 6 hour surgery is huge,
 , so you rest and rest some more. Can't believe you got out of bed already. Good for you. Better days are ahead Phylly. Thanks for posting.Cindylou

Phylly,
I was starting to worry but I figured you were in just a lot of pain and exhausted from the surgery. Say, "Hi" to my friends at St. Joe's and I hope they are taking very good care of you. I knew you could do it and now the hard work of recovery begins. Make sure the nurses keep your pain under control. And please keep focused on your recovery and don't worry about all the "extra" stuff. You made it girl. Congratulations. runner P.S. Let your husband pamper you...it is almost Valentine's Day. (heart)
