Singer Kasim Hoang Vu wrote: "Just letting you know I'm doing great. I slept so well at the hospital I didn't want to go home yet. Someone was taking care of me every day, so I took advantage of the time to rest a lot. The surgery will probably be next month because the doctor has to wait for some supplies to be ordered for the jaw surgery. Don't worry everyone. I just wanted to rest, so I was too lazy to go on Facebook."
