The good news is that the robot-assisted surgery was done with minimally invasive procedures, and I’ve been resting comfortably in a private hospital room since late Monday afternoon.
But one of several the “known unknowns” that could not be fully examined in pre-surgery imaging turned into a roadblock. As a result, the surgery could not be fully completed as planned, although a lot was accomplished.
The Surgeon will be here later today to discuss what was done and recommended next steps.
