she sounds good. came through the transaxillary rib resection like the champ that she is. her surgeon has been by to see her twice already today i think she said, which is a good sign. perhaps she found one with a heart; alert the press!!! and the doc himself has shown her some gentle ROM stuff for the affected shoulder and arm.

i believe the R side is shellie's surgical side, for all you visualizers out there...

anyhow, our girl will remain in the hospital for a few days before being released into the loving care of her husband, her mom and good neighbors there in SC. i'm smelling fried chicken... anybody else?

brad is with her in the hospital as much as possible, which provided he is bathing i know she appreciates, so much. (you guys will have to explain to me someday how you are able to hang onto your men with raging TOS in the wings. personally, i could never figure that one out...)

i see that martha continues to fall down on the job. but jo55 came through in a pinch with the virtual flowers. way to go, jo!!!
