Hello all -
Our patient is still in neuro ICU, but is doing so well that she will be moved into a regular hospital room at some point this afternoon.
She is in some pain, but it is being effectively managed with a combination of morphine and Percocet. No problem smiling, blinking, or closing her eyes tightly - so that pesky facial nerve apparently is completely intact.
Despite the pain, she is awake, alert, and her typical smarty-pants self with everyone, including the ICU staff here (who seem to get a huge kick out of her).
And she looks SO much better than any of us thought she would less than 24 hours after brain surgery. No, really - check out this picture I just took - you'll see that, in spite of the trauma, Joan has never looked better!

She always looked good in everything. That $%*&#! Glad everything went well - no surprises is wonderful news.
Warning: activity care packages are being planned.
All the best!

Glad to see Joan got this all wrapped up just in time for Spring! Please tell her Robin is thinking of her and wishing her a full recovery. Thanks! -Robin

We are so glad to hear that everything went well and you are already on the road to recovery. You're a fighter, so I expected nothing less.
We have been checking the blog daily for updates, so keep it coming!

Yes, I'd recognize that Chanel Black Satin anywhere. Glad to see Joan used this opportunity to freshen her look. She has to rely on her looks more than ever since the surgeons took part of her brain. Tell her if she wants to jump a couple of cup sizes that I know just where to find a set of new silicone gel implants.:-)XO, Beebz
