Hi everyone, it's Chip, Lisa's husband. Just writing everyone to update you on Lisa. Her surgery began at 11:30 this morning and was completed at approx. 1:45 this afternoon. Despite bribing the surgeon (50 bucks and a canned ham...how can you go wrong?) I'm very pleased to report that the procedure was a success. Lisa pulled through with flying colors and the doctor was very happy with the results. As of this posting, she is in recovery where she will remain for the next several hours. When I have more info. (room #, phone #, etc.) I will let all of you know. She will be in Miriam until Saturday then will be transferred to Waterview Villa in East Providence where she will begin 2 weeks of intense rehab. Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. They are very much appreciated.

Hey Chip,

Great Job! Lisa will be proud of you when she sees you're updating! You should have offered a turkey too!

I just got off the phone with Lisa. She is still in recovery (@ 8:20 PM) and waiting for a room.

She's in a lot of pain but handling it well. She sounds positive and is looking forward to her post-op recovery period being behind her.

She'll be up and movin' before we know it!

Tomorrow she starts the grueling physical therapy for 3 - 5 hours a day! I hope her physical therapist isn't beastly! Aaaargh! I'll have to pounce on him/her! Know what I mean?

Chip and/or I will keep you posted!

Thanks for the update. I am glad to hear how well things went- but sucks she is still not in a room. Waiting for one is terrible sometimes- esp when you just want to zone out and sleep to start the healing! Please pass along my best wishes to her and I am so glad to hear she has a great attitude! That is a huge help in the healing
