Hi All,
Tamena asked me to re-post her updates from Facebook. She went in around 10 a.m. this morning. The last update was the doctor reported that on a scale of 1-10 of surgery success, it was a 20! She is being closed up now.

Tamena had a rough night with pain and only got about 2 hours of sleep. Today, however, they've had her up and standing for 3-4 minutes. They plan to have her walk tomorrow.age 48

To "Confused Mom," thanks for the updates. We are all praying that each day Tamena will have a better plan to control pain, and get a little sleep. I hope the standing and walking will go well, as those are both yardsticks by which you can measure your improvement. Also, eating. At least crackers, or a little chicken broth.
Love and prayers from Aunt M.Comment
