She'll be at St. David's North (12221 MoPac) and be there until Friday. She'll be on a liquid diet for 4 weeks (read: Ensure, puddings, soup, liquified grits, etc.) and off of work for 12.
I'm going to the hospital in the morning and stay until it's time for sushi (she knows I have my priorities!), so I'll keep Y'all posted.

Yep, for the neck they go through the front,,I have the scar to prove it! I hope her recovery goes well and am glad to hear that it was only one instead of four! They gave me cadaver bone too; I just made them promise me that they wouldn't give me an ax-murderer's bone such that I would wake up with the feeling of wanting to kill someone! lol. The first four weeks are the worst but I do hope her surgery provides her with what I am sure is much-needed relief now and going forward!
