Julie's Wednesday update

Hi everyone! I was thinking that Hayley would be completely out of it yesterday so imagine my surprise when I overheard her chatting up a storm in the background with Margerie and Shannon visiting from SLO while talking to Timmy! To say she has a lot of tubes and gizmos attached to her is like saying "Katrina caused a little flooding" but despite all that, she looks great. Far better than I would be after not only enduring 9 hours of surgery and THEN being called back for an encore 5 hours later to remove the blood clot! Dr. Buntic is an amazing surgeon judging by the newly constructed "girls" and Hayley could not be in more capable hands with the doctors and nurses at Cal Pacific. She's definitely in some pain and having to do normal things like "give me a little cough" for the nurses must be a real treat (helloooooooooooooo morphine drip!) but she's not laying there saying "woe is me". Not by a long stretch. Our girl is a trooper!! Hopefully she'll 1) be allowed to eat (and shame on Timmy if he breathed Philly cheesesteak breath on her last night when he got back from dinner) and 2) graduate from the ICU to a regular room today. I'll check in with Timmy in a bit for the morning report and post before I head to SF for everyone's reading pleasure.
