Diana Update (from Mike)

Diana is out of surgery a little over 5 weeks now. She continues to make progress. We have been shopping (Diana calls it "walking"!) a little. She is still on meds so she cannot drive yet so I am taking her everywhere. Yesterday we visited my brother Jeff who had a massive stroke about 6 weeks ago. He is in an Acute Rehab facility in Lancaster. He has made progress but has a long long way to go. His police buddies came up from Maryland to visit with him the day before.

Diana is able to do more without getting winded. She no longer sleeps on the couch in a sitting position; she is back in bed and sleeping well. Diana goes back to see Dr. Sardi, her surgeon, next Friday (we will update the blog). She still has tremendous pressure on her abdomen so she is still on pain meds.

If someone would've told me that she would look this good 5 weeks after such a surgery I wouldn't have believed it. Thanks to everyone for the calls, visits, flowers, food, and cards. That definitely has kept her spirits up.
