Dollie is doing well this morning. She is groggy and out of it from the drugs. Dr. Edwards says she is doing well. They have her in a chair, and she drifts on and off to sleep. She is very weak, but in good spirits.
The Maryland Spine Center and Mercy Hospital are wondeeful to her.
Thanks to all of you for your care and concern.

Glad to hear Dollie's doing well. Sleeping is good, it's really the best thing for her at the moment. Take care of yourself too, try to get some sleep when Dollie's sleeping and eat good, quality food. You're important too!Surgery March 3, 2009 at almost 58, now 63.
