Kazuya Minekura is out of surgery, and notes she received thousands of paper cranes. There's a shout-out link to cranes4minekura in the article. :) (ETA: Apparently this post on her blog mentions the cranes? Anyone who can read Japanese willing to give the gist of the crane part? ETA2: devikun obliged in the comments over on LJ. Thank you!)

*Very* roughly I think she's saying something like every day she gets gifts brought to her from her family and everyone, but then she receives the cranes - "tens of thousands" - and the doctors and nurses are "astonished" and have "never seen so many". I think then she's saying the room is colourful with all that support and that the doctors told her that the surgical scar is very clean and she thinks it is because of the cranes are a charm that helped her surgery and she says "thank you, thank you very much"

But someone with better Japanese than I might be able to render that paragraph better...

Thank you!

Thank you! I love her so much.

That is hopeful - I ran the page through an online translator and the description of what she has lost in the way of bone, nerves and muscles is fairly horrific. I sure hope the surgeons can reconstruct her face...

I've posted a really rough translation of that post here.

I should warn that she gets pretty detailed in describing what's going on, and her condition's pretty unpleasant. Please be cautious reading if you think it might upset you.

Here I had a friend who's MUCH better at Japanese than me translate it:

"Every day they brought in to the hospital a steady stream of gifts from friends and family, my hospital room had 10000 paper cranes...no, tens of thousands of cranes filled the room, the doctors and nurses said it was the first time they seen so many. After the surgery when it was so painful that I wanted to scream, looking at the colourful support surrounding me in my room really encouraged me. I'm told that the surgical scar is very fine, I think that's all thanks to the mountain of protective charms I received. To everyone who supported me from afar, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am very grateful."
