BSCC- Kathy B. Update...........

Hi everyone........

        What a long day!!   We were up by 4:15, left here at 5:30 and were at New England Baptist Hospital at 6:30.  They rolled her into surgery at 8:30.  She was in the recovery unit from 10:00 - 1:00 before they moved her and got her settled into a room.   I stayed with her until about 8:45 tonight.   She was drifting in and out of sleep. (mostly sleep, all day)     She seems pretty good although she vomited 3 times from just sucking on ice chips due to the anesthesia and the pain level had gone up from a 3 to a 6.  They gave her an injection of something and the nurse says she should feel better in that regard tomorrow although the hip pain from the surgery should kick in pretty good by that time as well.   We'll see.  I didn't roll in here to Milford until almost 10 PM.   I'm getting a few e-mails off and then it's off to bed. 

        Kathy's moved by all the calls, notes of concern and offers of assistance.   She thanks you and sends her love back to all of you and hopes to join you at an upcoming event ASAP.   She actually starts minor physical therapy tomorrow.  It involves slowly getting out of bed and standing next to it.   (Hell, I can do that and I didn't have surgery!!)  Seriously, I thank you all again for your caring concern and I'll keep you posted on Kathy's progress.    

Warmest regards, Ray B.
