Fans of Kristin Hersh, 50 Foot Wave and Throwing Muses

Kristin had surgery???

Cross-posting here something I already posted on K's site, but I just saw a tweet from K about this and am very concerned:

kristinhersh came out of surgery at midnight last night, woke from anesthesia to Billy reading me Kafka's "Metamorphosis" - keeping the roach theme going

Not trying to be nosy here, but does anyone know the details? I know she called yesterday a "brutal day," but if it's anything serious (and any surgery requiring general anesthesia qualifies, as far as I'm concerned), then that'd be an understatement.

Thoughts are with you, K & B!

The last thing Kristin and Billy need right now is more turmoil or negativity. They need support and positivity, as you suggest. Thanks.
