Dear Ones,
Tomorrow, Jennifer goes in to have her shoulder finally, we hope, repaired.
Surgery is scheduled sometime around 8 am. They tell us it will not be overnight.
They will be removing the hardware initially used to stabilize her shoulder, almost a year ago now. That hardware has been breaking its way loose and has got to go. Over this year, the initial repair, plus the loosening hardware created a whole lot of scar tissue -- so they'll be interested in breaking that up, too, so that she can pick up with PT and keep it from coming back and repressing the shoulder's motion.
This is a really, really important milestone for Jennifer. Once past this, there are no other surgeries, no other radiation treatments, no other chemos for her to manage -- at least as we know.
It's her first opportunity to REALLY start getting her life back -- a life, as you well know, so full of vigor and optimism, strength, and incredible energy to dwarf most of us ....
We hope to have her home tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/3) in the evening. If you would like to flood her with emails and flowers, that would be lovely. Our home address is 1681 Leathers Rd., Lawrenceburg, KY 40342.
More as I have it.
Love,
Joan
This is why I did not know about Jennifers surgery. I was trying to figure out how to get to the site and now that I did, I can finally catch up. I am sorry that I did not know before.
