Post-op
Tuesday, 20 June 2017
Hello Team Ronni- this is Autumn writing with an update. First and foremost, Ronni is out of surgery and headed to recovery. It took a bit longer than expected- most likely because The Good Doctor had to dance around all of you in the OR.
I do not know a lot at this time, other that Ronni is resting well and pain free for tonight. It was a very long day, starting with a coffee free wake-up at 3:30 AM, check-in at 6:00, and surgery at 8:30. (Crabby Old Lady only made ONE appearance the entire morning.) The surgery was 14 hours and Doctor sounded positive and confident that they were able to remove the tumor.
Yesterday,as Ronni and I tried to "play normal", fear, sadness, and anger crept in a few times. When this happened, we allowed one another to feel it and cry when needed. We would then summon the strength to move onto the next task on the List Of Things To Do Before Surgery. As we were running through the dry run to the hospital, I silently sat in the driver's seat wondering where Ronni was getting her strength. When we returned home last evening, my question was answered as Ronni checked her comments. Each and everyone of you. Every note, every thought, every devotion, novena, meditation, and chicken foot kiss was received and cherished.
I am sorry to you, the readers, as I am far from a writer but I am committed to making sure you all have regular updates. I will pass along any and all comments to Ronni. Her laptop is packed in her suitcase and I have a feeling you will hear from her sooner rather than later.
Oh, Ollie was thrilled to see me and is allowing me to rub his ears and tail.
Thank you so much for keeping us posted. Love to you and to Ronnie.

A long surgery and hopefully a swift recovery. Thanks for the update...looking forward to more good news. Hugs to you and Ronni.

You both (and Ollie) had a long day. Thank you for posting this so soon.
Posted by: Jean | Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 10:52 PM
Good news! Best wishes to Ronni and thank you for the speedy (and very well written!) update.
Posted by: Cynthia Friedlob | Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 10:55 PM
Thank you for the update. I'll continue to send good thoughts and prayers her way.
Posted by: Joyce | Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 11:04 PM
My goodness - 14 hours! One has to be strong to get through that. Thought of her several times today and sent out healing light. Thank you, Autumn!
Posted by: Regina | Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 11:08 PM
Oh thank you Autumn for posting so soon! I kept telling myself that I was an idiot to keep checking the blog for updates, as there surely wouldn't be one today...yet here you are.
And what promising news, from the Good Doctor! I'm so sorry that we got in his way, but that's what he has to expect when he's dealing with the world's most loved and famous elder.
Fourteen hours - the mind boggles.
I hope everybody sleeps tonight. Hugs to all and ear rubs to Ollie.

All day I thought about you and now to see that this is in life's rear view mirror let's me sigh and reflect on how lousy life would be for all of us without you. Know that I am thinking of you and want the Crabby Lady up to speed. Love, Alex.
Posted by: Alex Bennett | Tuesday, 20 June 2017 at 11:38 PM
Fabulous news. Thanks Autumn
Hugs all round! x

With hopes that you are comfortable and progressing post op. Looking forward to updates. Keep strong.

Fantastic. And you ARE a writer.
Posted by: Claudia | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 12:55 AM
Autumn, so grateful for this update, and a good update it is.
14 hours is a long time but good to know that the tumour is gone.
Thank you again for being there for Ronni (and Ollie). Hugs and thoughts
Posted by: Claude | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 01:03 AM
Yes, I too thought about you Ronnie, all day and glad to hear the surgery is over...and thank you to your dear friend for keeping us informed...
You have been brave to share this with all your loving followers.
As they say , these days,...WE ARE ALL RONNIE..
HERES TO A SPEEDY RECOVERY.
Posted by: Emmy Abrahams | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 01:33 AM
Oh thank you so much. I had commented that there would be a crowd in the OR, which, ironically, left me with a smile each time I envisioned the room today. I hope that you feel our collective relief at finally having arrived at the end of such a day. My love to Ronni, you and Ollie.
Posted by: Julia | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 01:34 AM
Thanks for the update.
Posted by: Hattie | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 01:48 AM
God bless you both!

Thanks for the update. Keeps us all in the loop.
Posted by: Tabor | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 02:19 AM
What a relief to hear that the OP went good, even when it was so long.
Thank you for your quick update, Autumn.
My very best wishes for Ronnie, may she recover fast.
Posted by: Barbara | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 02:39 AM
So much gratitude for a positive outcome. Sending love and white light for a quick graceful recovery. Thank you so much for being there to support Ronni and for keeping us updated.
Posted by: Jayne Andrews | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 02:57 AM
Thank you, Autumn. What welcome words. I hope by now Ronni knows just how widely and deeply she is appreciated and cared about, and that this knowledge helps buoy her spirits, and makes the recovery period more bearable at some level. She is treasured.
Posted by: Carol Foster | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:13 AM
Thank you, Autumn! I'm so grateful for this update!! And thank you for being there.
Tell Ronni we're holding her in our hearts and want her to rest and get strong.
Posted by: Patty-in-New-York | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:15 AM
Many thanks for the update, Autumn - beautifully written! I hope you have all been able to have a good sleep, ready for whatever day 2 brings.
And good to hear Ollie is being friendly. He is selective about his friends, but he probably realises these are exceptional circumstances.
love to you all, Norma
Posted by: Norma, the A.M. | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:23 AM
Happy news! Thank you Autumn for conveying it so quickly and effectively. We all should have a friend like you! Here's to a smooth, speedy recovery Ronni.
Posted by: Priscilla | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:49 AM
Bless you, Autumn, for your very generous "bulletin" for Team Ronni (love that!) after such a very hard Monday and a very long, hard Tuesday.
I, like all the others, am so grateful for the news and for your presence.
Bushels and pecks of love, good juju and gratitude ... plus positive energy for the coming days to Ronni and you.
Posted by: laura | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:55 AM
Thank you, Autumn. Love to Ronni.
Posted by: Annie Gottlieb | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:58 AM
No coffee? I'll bet that Crabby Old Lady had something to say about THAT!
Posted by: SusanG | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 03:58 AM
Thanx for the update. You're as much a writer, or more so, than many of us, Autumn. Will be a good sign if Crabby Old Lady gets her two cents worth in at some point now that this procedure is over. Caring wishes through recovery.
Posted by: Joared | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:03 AM
Autumn, you are wrong about being a good writer. You "had me" by the end of your first paragraph. Thank you so much for the detailed update and for keeping Ollie happy while his mom is away. As a pet person myself I know how much that is comforting to Ronni. Tell Ronni to hang in there!
Posted by: JeanR | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:09 AM
Add my appreciation for the update. You are the "bestest friend" to be there with Ronni and to be "communications director" for TGB.
Posted by: Linda C | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:12 AM
Thanks so much for the update! Ronni is one strong lady! Love and hugs, carol
Posted by: Carol | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:22 AM
Exhale. Whew.
Thank you, Autumn, this is what we needed.
We appreciate the updates so much.
Love to you and Ronni.
Posted by: Wendl | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:35 AM
Good news, good reporting. Thank you for that and for the on-the-scene support you're giving Ronni. We look forward to the Crabby Old Lady's return.
Posted by: Cam | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:47 AM
Thank you, Autumn. And yes, you are a writer, in addition to being a dear friend. Sending you love and positive thoughts as well. We readers are most grateful for you!
Posted by: Marsha | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:51 AM
Thank you so much for this note, Autumn! My god! Fourteen hours! (And your writing is spectacular. Exactly what I wanted to know.) Best to Ronni! Best to you!
Posted by: Rick Gillis | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 04:56 AM
We are all so grateful that Ronnie and Ollie have you to lean on and be there. We are also very grateful for you and thank you so much for the quick update. So far so good though fourteen hours sounds grueling for both of you. Prayers will continue for a smooth recovery.
Posted by: Patti Kelly | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:12 AM
Thank you for taking the time to write and let everyone know how the surgery went and that Ronni is through it. I wish all courage and strength to Ronni and the people who love her.
Posted by: Catherine McGregor | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:13 AM
Lurker here, so grateful the surgery went well.
I've been saying a Mi Sheberach prayer for you Ronni and will continue to do so until you're back in the saddle again!

Thanks for the update. Like many, Ronni was in my thoughts all day yesterday. It's so good to know she has a dear friend with her during her recovery. Ronni has become important to many of us for the wonderful work she does!
My hope is for a complication-free recovery.
Posted by: Brenda | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:37 AM
Good news, promising! Thanks so much for the update; I kept checking last night, and relieved to see Ronni came through the surgery. ((((Hugs to her & You for strength)))))
Posted by: Cara | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:40 AM
Thank you for the update, I am sending warm wishes for a gentle recovery.
Posted by: Becky | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:44 AM
Autumn, what a marathon!
So relieved to know Ronni came through her operation in good spirits.
You described Ronni's day so clearly my eyes were grazing my tablet like a bumble bee.
Keep writing. You're good.
Fourteen hours!
I kept checking the time, wondering and hoping.
Thank you for being a standup friend.
Congratulations to Ronni.
Posted by: dooctafill | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 05:54 AM
Thanks for the update, Autumn! Our collective energies now turn to buoying Ronnie through her recovery from a long and complex surgery.
Ronnie, when you feel the touch of your caregivers, whether helping position you for comfort in bed or helping you take your first steps post-op, know there is an army behind each touch! Wish you the best for a smooth recovery!
Posted by: Peggy | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:01 AM
Thank you, Autumn, for the update and for being such a good friend to Ronnie. I will keep sending positive thoughts to her, and to you.
Posted by: Nan | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:05 AM
Autumn, thank you for the report. Such promising news! Whew. Really long surgery. You are great to do this for Ronni, Ollie, and for us. Hope you got some good rest overnight.
Ronni, when you wake up do as they say (but suffer no fools...stay close Crabby), and just take the time you need. I am so very happy the first big step is in the past.
Sending best thoughts for a smooth and full recovery. With all the wishes, prayers, chicken feet (nice to see you Cowtown Patti!), and gazing (who knew?) odds are great!
xoxo

Thanks for the update. Keep going forward. Thoughts for you. A prayer too.
Posted by: Beverly Dixon | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:30 AM
I can only imagine how comforting it must be to Ronni to have you there, Autumn. I know what a comfort it was to me when Ronni announced this arrangement. And to know that Ollie not only accepts you, but is friendly -- well that is just the icing on the cake. It may seem funny to some, but others here who are also cat people may understand my anxiety about what Ollie's reality might soon have soon become. As dooctafill said, thank you for being a stand up friend. There's a new star for your crown, which I suspect may already be pretty full.
I will be thinking of Ronni, Ollie and you as you all continue down the road to recovery. Thank you so much for all you are doing. Please give Ronni my best and Ollie a head bump for me. Hugs and love to you all!!
Posted by: Cathy Johnson | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:34 AM
Autumn, you write very well--the humor is much appreciated.
Give Ollie a scratch behind an ear--if he is amenable to it.
Thank you so much for the update. Ronni will at least be resting without the mind warp for a few days. This is a tough journey and it has only just begun. I hope you know what comfort your presence is for her—and I am sure you feel the same way.
Posted by: S C Jones | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:38 AM
Oh my! 14 hour surgery! The doc must be super human! Wishing her a speedy recovery! Thank you for the updates.
Posted by: Kay | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:40 AM
From Paris, France, I send many thanks for your message and all my best wishes for the recovery of Ronni. I am a "fan" of her blog, she is a wonderful person.
Posted by: artaud | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:48 AM
Thank you Autumn for the update. I am so glad Ronni made it through the surgery.
Even though we have never met I feel like Ronni is a dear friend and feel her pain as though we were next door neighbors. It is good news that the doctor is positive. My thoughts and prayers are with her.
You are doing a fine job, Autumn and appreciate all the updates. Thank you
Posted by: Gail | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 06:59 AM
Thanks so much, Autumn, for the update. I was late looking for same thinking it would be too soon to hear from you. All good wishes to Ronni, it sounds good. And Ollie is lucky to have you there.
Posted by: Marge | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:03 AM
Appreciate the update Autum. It came through my FB before the email. :-) Continued prayers and give the kitty a pat for me.
Posted by: Bonnie | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:06 AM
Thanks for the good news Autumn! and for taking such good care of Ronni and Ollie. You may notice that we're still in the recovey room, singing and dancing, quite discreetly, when Ronni feels up to it. Take good care, all three of you.
Posted by: Donna | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:08 AM
So glad this "step 1" is over for you, Ronnie. Autumn, like others have said, you are a very good friend! I'm not sure if I have someone who would do this for me. Love and hugs to both of you...
Posted by: Jane | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:14 AM
Thank you for that good news. Very encouraging!
Posted by: Bert | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:17 AM
Autumn, you did us all a real favor with this posting.
We were all thinking about Ronni yesterday and are so very glad Ollie is OK, too. Like Jane, I'm not at all sure I'd have someone to do this for me, and I'll bet it's something we all reflect on since this happened to Ronni.
You're the best. Keep posting!
Posted by: Paula | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:30 AM
Dear Autumn, you are the best! And your writing is wonderful, too. Thank you, beyond, thank you, for this update and for doing the heavy lifting there in Portland.
I will continue to "roam the halls" praying for Ronni.

Autumn, thank you for being there and for being Ronni's 'voice for us. It was such a relief to hear that the op was over and was successful. Now for the long road to recovery. Love and (very gentle) hugs to Ronni and a hug to you too. A friend like you is a treasure indeed.

I have to join the chorus of thanks, Autumn. I am so glad Ronni has such a good friend to be by her side!
Posted by: Sylvia | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 07:58 AM
Thanks so much for writing. This morning I was going to write an email to Ronnie telling her I was thinking of her and wishing her well. I knew she wouldn't read it for a long time but those wishes have a long shelf life. Fourteen hours in surgery?! Any time I've had long-ish surgeries, the anesthesia used to keep me "asleep" means my brain was unreliable for almost a year. So if she feels goofy for awhile, please reassure her it will eventually pass.
Posted by: Rosemary Woodel | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:01 AM
Thank you so much for the update. You are a wonderful friend to Ronnie and so kind to all of us who care for her through our virtual acquaintance. Please add my voice to the chorus of well wishes.

Thank you, Autumn, for your excellent report on what has to have been a long grueling day. I can't imagine how complicated the surgery must have been - 14 hours, whew!
I knew Ronni would get through this because she is a fighter, but it is so wonderful to hear that my conviction was right. Along with the rest of Team Ronni I am so relieved that it is over and was successful.
You are a trooper too, Autumn, and we are all grateful for this report. The surgeon and his team were spectacular to stay on their feet and save our favorite elder. Team Ronni owe them a debt of gratitude. Special thanks to you for being there for Ronni and for keeping us posted.
Posted by: Darlene | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:10 AM
so glad to hear the surgery is over and that Ronnie dear, you are resting well. Many blessings to you and to you Autumn for updating us on how things went. Ronnie is so lucky to have you as her friend and companion through this difficult time. And Ollie too! Best, Susan

Good news. Great update...keep them coming.
Peace
Posted by: Terry Buckner | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:25 AM
Well, what a relief. Yes, both of you deserve kudos: going through something like that is hard enough, but sitting and waiting and worrying are also grueling activities. But you both made it through the day! [I am not ignoring the alter ego Crabby Lady, she was for sure in the OR keeping track and making sure the medical team stays on its collective toes. ]
Anyway, I wish both of you well. Good sleep. A rapid coming back into the summery world outside -- I look forward to hearing about Ronni's progress -- and her triumphant return to the laptop!! And her great reunion with Ollie. And the return of her appetite and her wonderful, joyful embrace of life!
Thank you, Autumn, for this marvelous report.
Love to you both, Ruth-Ellen

I was anxiously waiting for this update, Autumn. Thank you so much...It sounds good! Getting through surgery is a major step!
Posted by: Still the Lucky Few | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:43 AM
Two thumbs up and a gold star for you, Autumn, for being such a good friend and supporter of the feisty Ronni!
Get some rest and hang in there, Ronni is going to need you in the next days and weeks.
Tell Ronni how much love and concern is out here and how we are all cheering her on in spirit if not in person. I'm sure most of her readers, like me, wish we could be with you and able to help her out, too.
Posted by: Miki Davis | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:43 AM
So happy to hear Crabby Old Lady made an appearance, very healthy for her recovery. 14 hours..unbelievable, and now your miraculous body is already beginning to heal from the ordeal. Sending you light and love and feeling gratitude for your friends, Ollie, and your strong fighting spirit.

I had Ronni in my thoughts all day yesterday so I was happy to see your post this morning. I am so happy to know that you are there for her and Ollie. Sending her love and healing vibes.
Posted by: Gerrie Congdon | Wednesday, 21 June 2017 at 08:49 AM
No surprise that Ronni has a friend with the humor, wisdom, and writerly grace to continue TGB in her absence! I join the chorus of relief at knowing the operation is over and the road to recuperation beckoning. As I walk the streets of New York City (Ronni's favorite place) I hold you both in mind. Hoping that you, Autumn, take good care of yourself. And that dear Ronni feels stronger every day. Ann Burack-Weiss
