Hi, this is John, pinch-hitting for Kay. I saw Kay at the hospital this afternoon. She looked very tired out. She said last night was the longest night of her life...she'd finally fall asleep then wake up to see the clock had only gone 15 minutes.
The surgery was very long. The cyst had tangled itself among a lot of things. They took her appendix and an ovary while they were in there. They'll have to wait for the biopsy, but the doctor said it didn't look like anything cancerous. He showed her a picture of it, which she said was really gross.
They had her sit up today in a chair. It was incredibly painful. They're going to have her sit up again tonight. They were talking about moving her to a regular room tomorrow. However, that would mean they'd take the catheter out and she'd have to get up to go to the bathroom. She's hoping they'll delay that.
She couldn't think of anything to say other than that she was on the ice cube diet, and that if a person walked past her with a 7up right now, she would kill them and take it. She can't have 7up or any other food until they can hear enough sounds in her gut. Not enough sounds in her gut, I said. Guess there's a first time for everything.
She will be in the hospital for 5-7 days. If you go to the Morris Hospital page, www.morrishospital.org, you'll see a link where you can send her a little message. John
