Recovery
Dear Lisa -
It is now past your surgery time, and I am hoping that you are out of recovery and settled in a comfortable, quiet room. You did not say how long you might be in hospital, so it probably was going to depend on the results of the exploratory.
Hopefully Mel will let us know that all our prayers and well wishes had the desired effect and you are resting well.
