Just heard from Jan who said " Let everyone know at TQS that I'm blown away at their love and support. "
She also said that it was OK to share her FaceBook entries:
Feeling a great sense of relief that my husband Rick is recovering well from surgery to remove the most urgent of two tumors on his brain. Sigh. The primary mass is in his lungs. They found another one in his neck during surgery, so there is a long road ahead of us. They're keeping him well sedated (sedation vacation) to allow him to rest well. We're taking one moment/day at a time here. Your good energies/thoughts/prayers are greatly appreciated. The tremendous love and support of my family and friends are helping to keep my head above water. I'll post updates as I am able.
Thank you for all of the messages of love, encouragement and prayers; they are precious to me. Rick has come out of surgery recovery well. He knows who we are and why he's in the hospital. This is good. Of course he is in a good deal of pain from the surgery. We are still waiting for the pathology report, which will tell us where we go from here. We're hoping to get the results tomorrow, but it could even be Friday. The doc assures us that it's important that the pathology process be done in a precise manner which takes time in order for accuracy. I'll do my best to be patient for a correct diagnosis, for sure. To Rita Conti, Gayle Simpson and all who are wondering why they didn't know about this before now.....the symptoms only presented themselves in the last week. Beginning with a headache that progressed during the week, to vomiting all day Sunday. When we decided that it no longer looked like the flu, I took him (well, the ambulance did because I was unable to get him into the car) to the ER on Monday after consulting with his doctor's office. And here we are. I'm tired tonight. I hope to respond to each email and message individually. In the meantime, know how much they mean. I feel your hugs *)*
