Believe or not.....

Margaret underwent surgery #6 on June 1st, 2011, in NYC at NYU hospital. Her incredible guitar-playing surgeon, Dr. Steve K. Lee, who performed Margaret's previous three arm and elbow surgeries, reconstructed the injured extensor tendon attachments and corrected scar tissue problems in her right hand. A tendon from Margaret's arm was used for the reconstruction, making it a kind of "Tommy John" surgery of the hand! Margaret is recovering well and undergoing intensive hand therapy; she has slowly started to play the guitar again, and began playing for hospice patients at Jansen Hospice this past week. As she regains strength and agility in her hand, Margaret hopes to return to public playing by the late fall. She is also composing music for CD #4!
