Surgery Successful!

Mark here. Kristina came out of surgery about three hours ago and, with the exception of a headache and some cheery carolers trolling the ICU (correlation does not necessarily imply causation), she's doing well.

Our surgeon, Dr. L., informed us that he got the tumor sample he was shooting for with 95% certainty. He also encouraged me to purchase the latest iteration of The Kindle. I happily took his endorsement as a sign that he was genuinely pleased with the outcome of the surgery and Kristina's condition. He also seemed to be psyched on the Kindle's slimmer form factor and higher contrast screen.

I'm at home right now decompressing and plan to visit Kristina again this evening. She will likely be moved from the ICU to a regular ward sometime tomorrow morning. I have a good feeling that she will be home by Friday!
