Post-Op Update - Back Home

This is John writing. I’m glad to be out of the hospital and settled back at home. I want to thank Dr. Kanos and Dr. Hodge for their incredible work. I also want to thank everyone at Prisma Health who took such good care of me and made me as comfortable as possible.

Special thanks to:

• Dr. Doar; Head Anesthesiologist 

• Anesthesiology Team: Alainah Farrell, CRNA; Ekaterina Maksimov, CRNA

• Circulator: Jeffery Inks, RN

• Physician Assistant: Emily Mauhar, PA

• Scrub Techs: Courtney Brady; Tamara Hagler

• Morgan, Jasmine, and Bailey; Neuro ICU nurses

• Michelle, Kim, and Jessica; Third-floor nursing staff

• And everyone who was part of my medical team

The surgeons are very pleased with the results and so am I. It’s hard to believe that I had brain surgery two days ago considering how good I feel today. I’m up and walking normally, back to enjoying time with my family and pets, and looking forward to enjoying time with all my friends as well.

Thanks to everyone for all the support that you’ve given me and my family. We will keep you posted on where we go from here.

Only in the wheelchair because the hospital required me to. Protocol—you get it.
