Major update!!!!

Jan has been at a few doctors over the last couple of days. The two doctors, in NYC, that we met with yesterday, both said NO surgery needed!!!! One was a plastic surgeon, specializing in facial reconstruction and the other's specialties are elbows, hands and knees. Both are very well respected in the field.

Jan is still in a lot of pain and soreness, but she's improving every day.

better every day

She's getting better every day. This week is doctor week. Tomorrow the plastic surgeon.... she may not need surgery! Thursday, elbow doctor in NYC. He has worked on me and he is the best.

More soon after the doctor visits.
Thanks again for all of the flowers, calls, emails, cards, good vibes, etc.

Jan waiting for breakfast

Jan, on Wednesday morning with her two nurses... Jackie and Potatoh.

Jan actually went to her studio today. "You gonna try to stop her?"

She did a few things and I finally got her back up to the house for lunch and a short rest on the couch. She's still there and will remain until bedtime.

Once again, thank you for all of the cards, calls, emails flowers... she really is touched by it all.

How to post a comment....

follow these two steps.... Have fun

Home is where the Salukis are....

Jan is home. extremely sore and in pain, but home.
Also, she has her dogs to take care of her, too.

Monday Monday

Jan is doing better today. Going in and out of sass-land due to pain medications. She's been beat up pretty bad by the fall. New black and blue areas keep appearing. She's got a bruise on her left butt cheek that covers the entire thing... OW!

They are doing one more MRI tonight sometime and if that looks good she's getting out of here (hospital) on Tuesday. Back home to Dog Park with nurse Potatoh, Jackie and Travis. She wants to thank you for all of the great thoughts, emails energies, etc..

More soon.

would have posted this sooner but the hospital wifi was screwed up.

Jan talking with her Dad...

Jan is on the phone, at present, with her Dad and she just told him that she's getting her sass back. I concur.

Where's Jan now.....

She currently is residing at:

Albany Medical Center Hospital

43 New Scotland Avenue

Albany NY 12208

Room E407 - B

Resting comfortably and lucid

Jan is resting comfortably. She is due to have one more MRI tomorrow morning. Her "team" is formulating a plan for her fractures to her face. See www.oddstick.com/tripodal She has breaks at each of the three points where this bone (zygomatic) joins the skull. She may be sent home to rest and then come back in a few days to fix it: move it back in place and use tiny titanium parts to hold it in place. More soon.

She is NOT checking her email or her phone at present. This will be the best place to get info.

Thank you for all of your emails, calls, flowers, visits, prayers and great energy that you are sending.

I'm doing fine. I got a good night's sleep last night. The dogs a fine, too. They really miss her.
