My sister updated her Facebook:
Out of surgery and all is well. I am back in my hotel under a nurses care for 24 hours. Feeling no pain courtesy of percocets!
Thanks for the ~ma!!

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Pix, how awful. I'm sorry.

Seconding.
omnis, I'm glad your sister's surgery went well, and I'm sorry that work on the condo is becoming more complicated.

It's an outpatient operation. Laproscopic (Sp?) Couple small holes. One for the laser, one for the camera. Stick it into the back, zap zap. Go home. But, the clinic is in Tampa, she lives north of Orlando, so, go back to the hotel. 24-48 hours later, you are good to go. week of taking it easy. By two weeks, should be back to normal, only, hopefully without the constant pain of crushed discs (or whatever it was). yeah. kinda crazy if you ask me.
ION- the construction folks called. They will resume tomorrow. Not be working this weekend, or Monday (holiday). I expected that, but nice to confirm it. The problem is, apparently there is NO support under the porch. :: blink blink:: Um. Ok. So, it will add a day or two to the affair. Hopefully done by end of next week. hahahahaha. Oh golly. Anyone else having flashbacks of that great Tom Hanks movie "Money Pit"?? Hahahahahahahahaha. Eh, at least it's not out of my pockets. Just an annoyance. Once it's done, it's done.

Yeah, that blows me away. Definitely jealous. (Yes, mine was wildly successful, and I'm not complaining about that, but outpatient and no 6-inch scar down my back would have been lovely.)

omnis,
I cannot believe they can do disc ops laproscopically (sp?). That's amazing.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I know! When I was born, I had pyloric stenosis, and needed life-saving surgery at age six weeks. It left a distinct, puckered scar on my abdomen (which over the course of my childhood migrated from below to above my navel, bodies are weird). My nephew had the same condition. He had keyhole surgery done, and there's no sign whatsoever that it ever happened.
I love medical advances. They're so cool.

Yeah, my grandma had her gallbladder out in the 30s and they cut a 2-foot long hole in her abdomen. Mom had hers out in the 70s and the scar was about 4-inches. My sister had hers removed around 2,000, laparoscopically, and I think the scars have disappeared.
