I talked to Heather tonight, she sounded GREAT! She said her surgery (lap) was about 6.5 hrs. She went in at 8:15 a.m. and was in her room at 6p.m. She had a long day! She had a complication called "reverse pulmonary adema" but is doing fine now. The surgeon said "everything went fine" and teased about how hard she thought it would be to tie a knot with chopsticks (because of the lap equipment). She has been up and walking around. She said she's had gas pain and some rib area pain. She expects to go home on Sunday and is eager to do so. Heather sounded terrific! Very positive! She sounds ready to start her new life! I'm going to visit her tomorrow, can't wait to meet her!
