I spoke with Kiki a few hours ago and she sounded great. She told me about her nausea and how she wanted to die, but when they finally gave her medication everything calmed down. She loves the epidural and she sounded in great spirits. To quote her she said "no pain, no gain". It's a small price to pay for the long term benefit. She really hasn't said anything negative about her experience thus far. FINALLY, her mother is going to have surgery on Friday, so everyone please say some extra special prayers for Kiki's Mom.
