Holly is one of our true pioneers.

I am thinking of her and sending her love and prayers often through the day. Surgery does include some risk of unintended complications and sometimes the person themselves brings things to the surgery suite that causes problems. every body is different.

I had a complication that was a rectus sheath hematoma. I had had a hysterectomy that caused some old scarring that may have played into that issue we believe. The result was weeks of bedrest and abdominal pain, totally not expected for most people but obviously a complication that I unexpectedly had. That was really all about me and not about the procedure.

I wish Holly well and hope her complication resolves! she is in my thoughts all the time...

I was without internet from Sat night until just now so I just reading about you. I have not stopped thinking about you since you left for Stanford on Wednesday.

I am praying for you and I know you are in good hands at Stanford. Please just feel the love and respect coming from everyone here at Tims and we are all waiting patiently to here for you when you are ready.

Holly,

Well wishes and good vibes from the Northwest. While mostly a lurker, I really respect you pioneers that have been paving the way and have been cheering for you!

Take good care -- we look forward to your return.

Donna

Hi All!
I am sorry that I have not posted anything today...I am waiting to speak with Holly's sister again..she has been travelling to Phoenix this afternoon and we decided to make connections after she had visited Holly. I know this has been a long day for everyone. Please be patient.

Sharon

Edited: Holly's family wants to assure the TIMS members that what has happened is not related to the surgery which Holly had at Stanford last week.
