August 28 B9!

B9, B9, B9. The bottom line is the cyst is benign! Instead of a total hysterectomy, Jane lost a single ovary.

Jane was released last night at about 9 PM from Evanston Hospital. She is in pain and is sleeping a lot.

Although her blood sugar was 256 last night, which is high for Jane, the surgeon felt this was within the range desired (there was some sugar in the IV they were feeding her and she also had some Jello for dinner, possibly elevating the count).

She is currently around 101.

The pain is being managed by a mix of Ibuprofen and Darvocet.

A great big hug and kiss to Kim Crivello who sat with me all day yesterday. It was sweet and I really needed a female friend with me. Also to Holly Braun-Len. Because Kim had no car, she would have had to take the PACE home last night, arriving home close to 10 PM. Holly was really nice, came over, gave everyone some shit and then drove Kim home.

So, more hugs and kisses for Holly! Thanks guys. I'm really touched by your kindness.
