70% of my stomach is gone!

This is Terri's husband, Alan, reporting on her behalf. We arrived at the hospital at 7am this morning. By the time all the prepping, etc., was done, she went into surgery around 9:30am. (The worse part of the pre-op was getting the IV in! First nurse had a little trouble and left a bruise. Second nurse had no problems.)

Her surgery went very well. A nurse called me on my cell phone at different times during the surgery to let me know how Terri was doing. Afterwards, the doctor spoke with me and said that everything went fine and that there were no problems. We got settled into a recovery room around 1pm. It's currently 3pm and she's groggy and on pain meds but doing fine.

Terri asked me to thank you all for your support and prayers. And everyone scoot over on the loser's bench!

Thanks for letting us know Alan - I've been thinking about her all day hoping it all went well. The next 24hrs are the worst but they soon pass.....Please tell her from me 'A huge congratulations.'

I sympathise with the IV issue - I look like a junkie from the state of my arm!!

Looking forward to seeing her back on the board to report how she is doing. Shes gonna storm this one!!

Best wishes for a speedy recovery
