Hey everyone--this is Susan. I just got home half an hour ago. I am sitting on our deck drinking vitamin water watching the sunset. Marty is my typist.
I'm incredibly touched by all the comments on the blog postings. While Marty has told me in general about them, this is the first time I have actually seen them all.
Here's the good news. I feel and look ten years younger. I have to do a double-take when I look in the mirror because I am not used to seeing myself smile without effort. Also, I lost a couple of pounds from barfing so I am now a slim size 6. I do not recommend this diet.
In addition to looking better than I ever have, I was the envy of all the women at the family house where I was recuperating because they all told me how wonderful it was (FYI--This is Marty--I'm just typing here) to have a husband that cared and loved me so much and was so good looking too. Now granted, the average age there was 71.5 but nobody realized it more than I did.
The bad news. I still have vertigo. Currently there is no hearing in my right ear. And I feel like an idiot because I was clueless as to how much time it would take for me to recover from this. While my goal was to start work tomorrow (I can't believe I wrote an email prior to surgery to my producer, Margaret, saying I might not make it in until tomorrow afternoon) my revised goal is to start July 7th from home and ease back into the office.
Once again I really appreciate all the comments and support and I will be posting about my progress over the next two weeks.
Love, Susan

Hi Susan! I am speaking on behalf of the entire CS group - WELCOME HOME! We are so happy to hear you are doing well and you are home resting. All is good at work so no need to worry...we are holding down the fort! Rest up and let us know if you need anything...take care. talk to you soon!
Hi Susan! So glad to read the good news. You sound great!
The bad news is distressing, and we continue to hope that it's temporary, and you'll be 100% very soon.
The tots asked to see your pictures again last night, we hope to see you soon.
Susan Marie!!!!!
So glad you are home safe and sound, and taking it easy. I have been sending you support - and massive Pirate vibage - from afar.
Will call later today to say hi.
Dear Marty and Susan...finally, I learn about this great blog!Marty has done a great and descriptive job! Susan, you are a courageous and beautiful niece, and I know you are going to be fine!
We could not be happier that you have made it through this process so well so far. The only problem is that if you look 10 years younger, Marty is going to get arrested. Rest, get strong, and book a Maui trip.
Hi Susan and Marty,
Welcome back! Mike and the boys were really distressed to hear about the hearing loss in one ear, but we are all hopeful that it is temporary and we all wish you get well quickly. I will call tomorrow to talk to you, probably in the afternoon b/c I am taking Adam and a friend bike riding on the W & OD trail in Washington.
Susan,
OK, honestly, I am in a little bit of shock as I write this as I had no idea this was all happening. Laurie and I will watch the blog and send you good thoughts. Please keep updating the blog and let me know when you can take a phone call.

Marty is "good looking?"
Now THIS is a setback... there goes the optic nerve.
Love and Smoochies,
Marty's Older Brother
