I got this note below, that was sent to a bunch of people she used to write
off the group, and thought I should copy it here.   G. -->

Hi everyone:
Hilary asked me to let you all know that the surgery has been completed and
she is now recovering in ICU at Vancouver General Hospital. (The hospital
asks for no flowers or phone calls while she's in that ward.) They plan to
move her to the Neurology Ward tomorrow, when she can start receiving
visitors.
Thanks for your prayers and support!

Patrick (aka Dave )
