Dani,
Hang in there. I had the same surgery in June; it wasn't fun, but 12 days after 17 hours on the table, I was at home, eating real food.

The biggest ongoing issue I've had is a limp from the removal of the fibula...all in all, a pretty small price to pay.

She will be a pretty sick lady for a few days, but she WILL improve quickly. Try and keep that in mind that tomorrow will be better than today, and before you know it, she'll be back at home, feeling a lot better than she does right now.

you'll both be in my thoughts tomorrow
Wayne
