11:05 a.m. - Just talked to Kelly's Mom!

Thanks for the update, Gini. I'm so excited for her to feel better and start her new pain-free life! :)

**hugs**

Thanks for the update Gini!!

Hoping and praying that this is the start of a wonderful pain-free chapter of Kelly's life!!!

Good news! Meowy celbratory congratulations and hopes for a quick recovery!

That is great news! I hope the doctors are right in saying she'll have no more pain. Maybe that new experimental drug will help, too. Glad the operation was a success.

I just spoke with people from the hospital and unfortunately they seem not to offer, or even to have heard of - the email cards for patients program. They did sound interested though so hopefully it won't be long before that service is routinely offered by many hospitals, not just a few. In the meantime, good old fashioned get well cards sent to the home or something are always welcome I'm sure :cool:

The section that they removed and then resectioned is indeed diseased. However, what is remaining looks very good and clean.

Whew! So glad that's over with.

I think the above two sentences are two of the most important. First of all that the section actually was diseased thus confirming that this was the cause of all her pain. And secondly that they got it all and the rest is good and clean thus confirming that the surgery will indeed be successful for her and she should be pain free from now on! Well....once she heals of course. ;)

She has been so strong through all of this and I just know this is the start of a whole new life for her! Yipee!!!

....now....who's got some kleenex.....;)

Wonderful news!! :D :) :D

Thanks for letting us know, Gini! :D

Thanks Gini! I'm so pleased to hear such encouraging news. I hope this is the beginning of a much more comfortable life! :D

I agree with Debbie. It sounds as if there is a very good chance that this surgery will be the solution to her continuing and often overwhelming problem.

Kelly, you deserve a break and this is it. No surgery is a breeze, but I'm thinking this one may be well worth it. Like Zippy said, soon you will the
in the pink.

Of course you know how many of us are praying for a speedy recovery and sending up prayers of gratitude for what has already been accomplished.

Thanks for the update, Gini.

This is wonderful news indeed! I'm so excited for you Kelly, to think of you being pain-free without the misery of what you've been going through for so long. Thoughts and prayers go out to you that your recovery is quick and smooth. {{Gentle hugs}} to you.

Thank you for the update Gini! Kelly do you have any idea how many people had you in their thoughts and prayers today? I just best you do, because we all just had our prayers answered! I hope that your recovery will be smoothe and you will soon be back posting about how good you feel! :cool:

Great news!!

Thank you for the update Gini!

I agree with Debbie and Rachel- it is great they could put the finger (literally ;)) on the problem. It is so worrying if there is all that pain and the reason is not known.

Now every step will be towards a better future:)

Thank God Kelly is alright! :) So glad to hear an update! Prayers, (((((HUGS))))) and many get well wishes to you Kelly! You're such a strong person! :D QUICK RECOVERY!

Love,
Paula

P.S. Somebody must carry on Kelly's colour for her posts! ;)
