Post-Op -- Michele's Update

First, thank you to everyone who has sent their well wishes to Kristina. I will make sure she hears these tonight. Kristina requests no visitors at the hospital tonight or tomorrow. Know that she is surrounded by her family and is resting. She will be happy to visit with you later in the week at her home.

Susan is the reporter in the field for KBLOG and I am manning the desk. Susan reports that Kristina is in good spirits after her mastectomy, although is a bit "dopey" from the pain medications. In true Amazon fashion, she has already faced her scar and is showing it off to close family and friends. If you've got it, flaunt it, baby. Of the bandaged scar, Susan used the following words: amazing, smooth, clean, not scary, not puffy. I'll let it to Kristina to report her feelings upon looking at this healing wound for the first time.

Susan says that the preliminary results of Kristina's surgery are good--no indication of the cancer having spread further as of yet. Kristina will be released from the hospital tomorrow before lunch. If you would like to visit her, give the house a call or send an email before you come so that Ryan and Kristina can pace themselves. If you have received the email distribution list, you know how many dozens of friends and family will potentially want to stop by.

I know Kristina sends her love and is inspired by the tremendous outpouring of love, support, and prayers. Since this is perhaps my last post, let me say that let's keep it up over the coming months when she'll need us more than ever through her chemo and radiation treatments. This is Michele, signing off for KBLOG. Goodnight.
