“I think a lot of people are getting scared because they are concerned about the balance of the court, but I’m confident she’s not going anywhere. She’s going to be back on the court,” said Raja Flores, the chief of the division of thoracic surgery at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York.

Tried to find out what 'normal' would be, with no success.

Would like to hear from her/her docs, of course, but don't want to intrude.
