Surgery went well
Just passing on that Heather's surgery went well. She got a late start because they didn't have her charts ready for admissions, but they were closing up by 2 o'clock. I was able to see her around 5:30pm last night and she was awake and talking. She stayed the night in the PACU. She should be moved today to the surgical ICU.
I talked to Dr. Milhorat briefly. He said the surgery went well and that Heather will be 3/4 of an inch taller. I need to quiz him on the details and I'll pass those along as soon as I get them.
P.S. I'm currently sitting at a bus stop using an access point named "Brody." Thanks, Brody. :)
Yay! Tell Heather we are thinking good thoughts just for her! The big bad part is behind her!!!!
We're so glad Heather's surgery went well. It is certainly an answer to prayer. We will pray for her continued recovery and relief of her headaches.
Dear Heather,
So glad to hear all is going well. We look forward to a daily update from Linda. Your in thoughts and prayers each day.

I found your blog through google. i was looking of somebodys personal blog because articles on the surgery seem to sugar coat things a bit. i'm 15 and also a patient of TCI. i'm having this surgery in late january/early feb. (there not set on a date yet because of an upcoming dexa scan) anyways, i just really wanted to thank you, reading about the surgery from a first hand experience has really helped calm my fears. I hope you feel better soon !!!(those low pressure headaches for lack of a better word really suck)
Thanks again, hannah
