KAYBO T3 TODAY

[LADavid]

Hey all

Just wanted to let you know that Kay's T3 surgery is today (Friday).  I know that she could use and appreciate our prayers.  For those of you who don't know, Kay had AN surgery when she was 25 - about 13 years ago.  It was difficult and she was left with facial palsy and has had it ever since.  Nancyann led her to the T3.  Let's wish her the best.  If you want to keep posted on the success, check out her blog.

" The moment I wake up, before I put on my makeup, I say a little prayer for you,
...At work I just take time,  & all thru my coffee break time,   I say a little prayer for you... "

Kay is in my thoughts & prayers ....       Nancy

I'm thinking of Kaybo today and wishing her the best.
I'm hopeful the surgery will be a huge success for her.

Nancyann -

I didn't realize you recommended the surgery to her.
Is it the same surgery you had recently? 
If so, I hope her results are as good as yours

Oh, Boy, lemmesee here, I'm a diggin through me pirate sock drawer again.......AHA!  The ones with the pink and black stipes and the little jolly rogerette with the pink bow I believe!!!  Yess! They're even clean! For those who don't understand---see the Good Morning Thread a couple hundred pages back.  Pirates socks are donned for good luck aboard the Princess Batty Wench for those going in for "procedures" and such, and have always brought good luck.

Best of luck, Kaybo and our thoughts and good vibes are being sent your way!

LA thank you for your post. 

I spoke to K last Sunday and she was very at peace with her decision and she does realize that her results may be different than Nancy's due to the length of time between surgeries.  She is optomistically guarded as far as the results and is hoping for the best.  I have never met anyone with such a positive attitude and acceptance of her life as it is now.  We could all learn alot from her.  I believe she is such an asset to out forum.

Nancy thank you for helping her to discover this option.  She deserves to have her smile back and I am praying this will be her result.

Capt Deb those are my fav pirate sox and I believe you wore those for my surgery and it went very well.

K I'm sending you and Dave kisses to your foreheads.    16

K
You are such a special person and deserve only the best!!!  As I've said before you are my HERO!
I will be in contact but will wait until I think you're up to talking.  If you need an ear before or you want to talk please call me at any time.  You have been there for me when I was down and I would like nothing better than to be there for you!!!
Big Healing Hugs to You Sweetie 
Glenda

PS... I just read your hubby's post that you are out of surgery and doing fine.  I am so thankful!!!  Talk to you soon!!!

From Kay's blog (2.53 PM March 28th).  Her husbands comments, I assume.  Sounds good.

Well Kay is out of surgery and doing fine, still in recovery.

The doctor said they had to remove more tendon that the originally thought but she is doing great!!

The doctor said time would tell how much movement she will have but he thought Kay looks great, I'm anxious to see her!

My prayers are with her.

Hey Jan:  When Kay saw my before/after photos,  she asked me about the surgery;  yes, it's the same one Patti (Pattibobatti) & I had.

Had it NOT been for Patti discussing it about 2 years ago,  I wouldn't have known about it either.   Patti's the trailblazer here ! !

I've been thinking about Kay all day - I know she's in great hands.

[leapyrtwins]

You know, Nancy, that's another great part of this forum - being able to help others in the same situation.

I think it's wonderful that Patti informed you, and you informed Kay, and I'm sure at some point, Kay will inform someone else.

Doctors can only tell us so much; the input from others who have actually "been there" is so important.

I've found that myself, on my "BAHA journey", from reading posts and PMs from Joef, Ellis, Lori, Gramps, and many others. 

Sometimes I don't know what I'd do without this forum; things would sure be a lot different.

It sounds like Kay is going well.  I'll keep her in my prayers,

Jan

I am so inspired by your bubbly personality with all you have gone through for so long. With your personality and spunk this will help you through this with flying colors. I want you to know my thoughts and prayers are with you.
