First day post-surgery
Catherines performance was quite impressive today! She is in relatively good spirits although scared and worried. The nurse had her out of bed and walking short distances today (twice to the pantry to get water). Very painful incision when she moves in or out of bed but in generally good pain control. Enjoying a few sips of water today and looking forward to increasing her menu tomorrow to include clear soup and jello!

The surgery is proceeding this morning. It should take 5-6 hours. Catherine's family is with her. Note that Catherine has asked that although she is grateful for everyone's concern, she would appreciate NO visitors at the hospital.

Message from Catherine
"I've got my mom here and she has been a great comfort in the past few days when I could find no comfort. She also spent the day at 3 hospitals with me yesterday- my friends have my recovery planned, so I will have to participate. They have transformed my condo and been shopping for all the things I need. Everyone- including you have been all I could hope for. For someone like me who is independent and always active, this has been really tough, so I appreciate all your thoughts- think of me on Friday and in the days ahead."
