Rep. Dukes: Get well soon, Dawnna

Rep. Dawnna Dukes, D-Austin, is recuperating from two surgeries performed on Monday.

The state rep for Eastern Travis County underwent a laparoscopic myomectomy and an hysteroscopic myomectomy, two procedures for the removal of uterine fibroids. She was released the same day. In a press release, Dukes’ legislative aide Melissa Rosser thanked the staff at Seton Hospital, and stressed that the district office will remain open through her recovery.

Well-wishes and ‘get well soon’ cards can be sent to: P.O. Box 2910, Austin, Texas, 78768. We wish the representative our best and a speedy recovery.
