28. Good on the hospital for not wanting to get rid of her too quickly

What she had does not exactly qualify as “minor surgery,” and constant monitoring for clotting is imperative in the beginning. It sounds like she is getting good care from seasoned professionals, and that is the best news one can hope for from “external” sources. She also has a high will to be live, which is the other necessary half of the equation for recovery, so it sounds like there are solid reasons to be optimistic. Still—don’t plan participation in any marathons for at least the next six weeks.
