Angel Report #6: n Boden Sforza

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

n is home and feeling quite well at 8 days post-op. This was

the first time we had a chance to really chat since her surgery and

she sounds terrific. She was released on Tuesday; Mt Sinai wanted

her to go on Monday, but she refused. She wanted to make sure she

was able to get around well enough before she left.

She did not have any complaints about her incision area or even

discomfort in eating soft foods. In fact, she said she had a cheese

omelet today that she thoroughly enjoyed! She has been having a lot

of back and knee joint pain post-op, but she said she had that before

the surgery as well. It has slowed down her ability to " get up and

walk " as the hospital staff was stressing its importance.

Hopefully she will be back on-line in the next week or so and can

share her story with us. Another worthy patient successfully

switched!

Terri,

That's great, I'm glad everything went well and she's feeling better!

Liane was also getting the back pain instead of the incisional pain

that most people get. Hopefully n will join us soon and give us

all the details!
