Donali's out of surgery

Donali's sister, Cheryl, called me an hour ago. Sorry it took so long to post but I'm going in too many directions this evening. Donali was in surgery 4 hours. Cheryl didn't call them "complications" but the surgeon had some repairs to do. I don't have any other information yet, other than her sister is with her at The Oasis Hospital, and her mom is waiting at home for her in San Diego. I think we can all agree that she's truly amazing. Actually, you all are. Cheryl told me Don was touched with all the support here.

Believe it or not, I'm at loss for words.

Thanks Lisa for the update on Donali..I have been thinking about her all day long! I'm happy to hear she is doing good and her sister is with her.

If you can get a message to her...let her know that we miss her and hope that she gets better soon.

My husband is going to wake me up in the middle of the night to leave for our camping trip. Perhaps someone can call The Oasis of Hope Hospital in Tijuana to check on Donali? My cell phone has never worked to get through to that hospital, and I hate to wake her up at 3:00 a.m. I hope to see some posts that she's feeling better when I get back in a few days. Thanks, all have a safe 4th. xo

Thanks so much for the update Lisa... I don't think there is a single person that hasn't been touched by Donali at some point! I am so sorry to hear she is in pain... surgical pain is still pretty fresh in my memory and I hate to think of her going through that. ((((HUGS)))) Donali and wishing you a speedy recovery and a safe return .... you are very much missed!

Thank you for letting us know her status. She has been an inspiration to all of us and I hope things work out for her.

I couldn't sleep so I've been on the puter since 4:00 a.m., hoping for an update on her condition. Yes, Darcy, she's been a huge inspiration so so many people. She originally said she might have to stay 1-2 nights in the hospital. Let's hope she can go home today and start recovering around all her stuff. Don, when you come back and read this, yes, that's a wisecrack in the face of adversity but all in Xs and Os.

Lisa thanks so much for posting this. Donali, I hope you're doing well and are home soon!! We're all thinking of you and sending healing vibes to the beautiful city on the ocean. :D

HUGS!!!

Thanks for your post on Donali, she has been in my prayers, Hope we get a new update soon thats she's doing great.

I have not been with you all long but the time I have she has been an inspiation to us all.

Missing you donali. Sending healing vibes to you. Wishing you a speedy and hopefully less painful recovery. You are my hero.

Thank you, DeLara for the news.

I came on here tonight specifiacally to see if there was some news about Donali. She has been on my mind.

It is such a bummer that this had to happen to her.

She has been such an inspiration to me, as I know she has been to others.

Donali.....if you are here, you know that you are on so many of our minds, and we all are here to help you through this "rough spot" (and let's just call it that)

I hope that we hear from you soon, Donali, you are in my thoughts and prayers.

Thanks, DeLarla for the update. I'm a huge Donali fan as we all are. Donali, I wish you a speedy recovery, high spirits, and continued weight-loss success.
