Pain Pump

We checked into Mayo Gonda 15 at 10 am this morning.  After a late morning of consultations and final conversations with Doctors and other specialists she entered the procedure suite at 1:40 pm.  She was out just before 4:00 pm.  Everything went well.  She had an intrathecal pain pump put in.

I am home tonight and will return in the morning.  If all goes well, she will be released mid afternoon tomorrow.  We will return to Mayo Friday for pump follow-ups.

We are expecting that Gin will start chemo therapy next week sometime.  They want to give her a few days to heal and adjust to the pain pump before they add another level of treatment.

She was her funny and charming self today.  Lots of smiles and great storytelling.  She loves to meet new people.

We will hope for a quiet weekend and next week we will put the those dukes up and get after that cancer.

Love
Kir
