Mission Accomplished

This is Sasha's friend Mike posting for her highness.

I am thrilled and relieved to report that Sasha had a successful surgery today and is resting more-or-less comfortably on the 5th floor of AK Native Medical Center. She had a 2 hour surgery this time, and finished about 2:30pm. I spoke to her surgeon, Dr.Sacco, whom she adores, who said everything went fine and she might be able to leave the hospital as soon as tomorrow.

Her mother, good friend Erik and I were hanging around the hospital to greet her when she came back to her room. Already she's been up and about a few times, is eating and feels much better than her surgery last year. She was enjoying a movie starring Marky-Mark Wahlberg as I left her room and her mom was massaging her legs with blueberry butter. She has a clear-sky sunny view of the Chugach Mountains and a relieved smile on her face. No doubt she was left in good hands.

Sasha's hopeful this recovery goes smoother and easier than last, and likely it shall since she didn't have to have extensive surgery to remove any nodes. She said I could post her room phone if anyone wants to call, I think she'll turn the phone off if asleep. (907)729-3892. Hopefully she'll be back to my house tomorrow and be lounging on the deck in the spectacular Spring weather we're having. My home number is (907) 929-0939 or call her cell.

Over and out. Cheers to Sasha!! We love you.
