Default Hubby Posting for Gina in NY surgury

Hi Folks,
Gina went under the knife today -- plastic surgury which I am sure a number of you have discussed with her. She was in surgury for 8 hours - her surgeon said that everything went well - and she is recovering and pretty drugged out. She doesn't especially like morphine, but if she suddenly didn't have it I have the feeling she'd be more appreciative for its pain reduction properties.

BTW, thanks for all of the love and support the folks on this list have given her. It is a form of support I have not been able to give her and I know she loves y'all.

I'll try to update tomorrow

David aka the Hubby of Gina

Eight hours, wow. Thank you David for the news. We have been waiting to hear.

Gina girl, it's all over now and let the healing begin! You are a brave soul. I'm sure it will be rough for awhile, but each day will bring more healing and comfort. Best wishes and catch you back here soon!
