[BlueJacket Sailing] Sue Update (1)

[Geoff Schultz]

Ahoy from the crew of the BlueJacket!

I'm happy to report that Sue's surgery went well.  According to the 
surgeon, it went as well as it could have.  It was a long surgery, 
almost 4 hours, but the Dr. wanted to be a thorough as possible and 
not leave any potential source of cancer.  As a result they removed 
her cervix, uterus and some lymph nodes (this was purely just-in-case).

When Sue's parent's and I finally got to see Sue, she was very sleepy 
due to the surgery and the hydro-morphine drip that she was receiving 
for the pain.  She was doing her best to stay awake, so we finally 
left her for the night.  The surgeon said that she'll probably be in 
the hospital until Friday, so if you'd like to call her, please let 
me know and I'll be glad to provide the number.  She's at the Lahey 
Clinic, Burlington MA, room 7W13.

The bottom line is that so far she's come through the surgery just 
fine.  Now we just hope that the recovery goes well.

Thanks to everyone for their well wishes.  They've been passed on to Sue.
