Post surgery Michele update

[ECVZZ 0]

Just talked with Michele and thought everyone would like to know the surgery went well. There was more bone involvement than the surgeon expected, but they managed to get everything and the pressure on her eye has been relieved.
She's sore and very tired, but otherwise well, and sends her thanks to everyone for the good vibes, warm thoughts and prayers. She wore a skydiving shirt in, and was talking to the surgeon about the 5 way Saturday (trying to explain a "standing rib roast", lol!) until she went under.
She will be recouperating at home for a few days before returning to work, and for those used to seeing her smiling face (and her very personal look of terror on the skyvan ) at Perris, she should be released to jump in about six weeks (methinks a full face demo from square one may be a good idea though).
Personal note to Dick Mcmahon: Michele asked me to let you know that the angels have better accuracy landings than she does. They hit their mark Thanks to all!

Very nice to hear... I am so glad that she will be ok and that this chapter is done.
I had surgery recently and its very odd... they snuff you out in the middle of a sentence... I think I was saying how skinny the operating table/board was and how freakin cold it was in there... Next thing you know, I am in heated blankets staring at a Dude with a blue paper towel hat.

Yeah, can you believe that????..
Wait a minute,... ..who have you been talking to?
You seem mysteriously close to knowing what I am like in real life.... that really scares me and I am nearly non scareable.

Well, I've just had to chase Michele off line. She came on to say thanks to everyone, which was sweet, but not good for her health (seeing as how she has one eye bandaged, and a headache) for a day or two.
If anyone sees her on-line, please pm her and remind her to take care of herself until she has recovered enough to be staring at a screen (just for a day or two).Your help will speed her recovery!
Yes, I know I sound mean....whatever it takes to make sure she gets some rest over the next several days.
Thanks!

So Michele, when is the OR staff going to come out for a jump (recruiting right up to the surgery were you)?Sounds like things are going your way, good luck and speedy recovery! It's hard to just sit back and take it easy, but at least give yourself a couple of days to recover. Let those around you puff your pillow for you if they want.
And for those of us not there with you, if you need anything we're only a PM away! HUGGS!!

Hi, guys.
Well, owie seems to be the operative word of the day. Owie, owie owie...only tylenol allowed now, none of the good stuff. Sigh. Oh well....they are still monitoring the pain level, and it seems that you can only do that when you are in pain...sadists, all of them (lol). And yes, recruiting all the way, but sadly no takers. I did tell the surgeon that he looked silly in a blue shower cap, and then plaintively asked him if he still liked me...we'll see if he does like me when I get the bandage changed tomorrow...lol...Airweenie scarface....should be some interesting storytelling..."No shit, there I was, flying under canopy, when the hawk just swooped me!..."
Had to have an emergency intubation which hurts far more than my head at the moment - feels like a truck ran over me. Oh well, it should go away, too...

Um, no one around to puff the pillows, and I didn't get the cats trained in time for it.
But I will tell you, malted milk balls and the 4 floral arrangements and the balloon bouquet have been lifting my spirits (the balloon bouquet was really special and neat, from someone here. Thanks again - made me smile through the headache!), as well as all your messages and pm's - even those telling me to get lost. Which I shall do promptly...
Hugs, thanks galore, and ciels and Pinks-
Michele
