Another surgery done.

Hey Sue nation. Rob here.

Well, it was a long day all around, but the surgery went very well and she's awake, back in her own private room (an unexpected bonus, as we were expecting a ward bed), and looking forward to resting up and getting back home again. They took her in shortly after 7am, and finished up around 2:30. She spent another three hours in recovery before I got to see her, but she was in a lot better shape and spirits than the last time I saw them wheel her up from recovery!

She has six drains in, and at least some of them will likely be with her for several weeks. She'll be in hospital anywhere from two to four nights, and I expect the release date will be determined by drains, as was the case last time. They made her put on thigh-high compression stockings beforehand, and she'll have to leave them on until she's up and around and the risk of clotting is past. She'll be on blood thinners as well for a few days.

I'll let Sue tell you the rest when she's back home. All is well!
