Round 1 - the fight begins.

This is Paul (Tonilyn's older brother).  She gave me permission to update everyone -- and it's all good news!!

She's laying on the bed in front of me enjoying a nice little buzz and recovering perfectly. Both surgeons (the 'cute' breast doc with the low voice) and the plastic surgeon dude said everything went really well.  Pic below is with her nurse Michelle. This is less than four hours after surgery . . . amazing!

We're taking turns visiting (Joe first then Mom hogging everyone else's time). She's now awaiting her move to the VIP digs at JHH (leave it to my Sis to pull the 5-star room after surgery).  No crabs or rockfish tonight but she seems happy right now and is really just amazing me with her strength, concern for everyone else and her absolutely hysterical response to my asking for a picture and her bad hair moment. Gotta love a Jersey Girl . . . worrying about her looks no matter the situation.

All for now, she's getting ready to move in a minute and they need me to take the laptop off of her legs/computer stand :)

She says "HIGH" to everyone and thanks all of you for the kind words, thoughts and prayers.

The battle has begun . . . a decisive Round 1 goes to TL, the baddest chick to ever battle this disease - victory and full recovery await!

YEE-HAW!!

Can't wait to see the unveiling (so to speak) of the new T2000's!

Leave it to you to still be beautiful after this scary and long day. I showed your photo to the girls, along with Grandma Emma's picture, and she couldnt believe how much you resemble her. Thank goodness for such good genes.
Hopes to you for a painless recovery, and as soon as you are up to it, I promise you corn salsa and fried chicken. Your courage and strength certainly makes little things like long lines at the grocery store and traffic seem so unimportant. We have thought of you all day and cant wait for you to get your strength back.
You are in our thoughts and cant wait to see you.
Lots of Love, Kevin, Kristy, Shani & KK
