Re: Another unrelated surgery for me

Rinaina,
Jeez, I wish you didn't have have to go through this. Please know that I am praying, rooting for you that it will go all well. I really hope you can do and enjoy your trip to China.

Love,
Kris......

Re: Another unrelated surgery for me

Thanks to all my well wishers. Jackie, we are traveling for 17 days throughout China, starting in Shanghi ending in Hong Kong including a 3 night Yangtzee River Cruise. I opted for this over a party for my 60th. Can't wait.
The surgery will be the same as before, an overnight stay at the hospital, return home with a drain to stay in place for 3 days. Minimal activity for a month. Pray they are able to avoid the facial nerve and it's five branches as they did before. You are left with some numbness in the ear and a little in front of ear and behind. Hoping it goes well like previous one back in 2004.
