RALEIGH, N.C. (March 27, 2009)—Lady Bears head coach Kim Mulkey said Friday she's feeling better after recent surgery to remove a kidney stone.

Mulkey missed the Bears' NCAA tournament opener after she was hospitalized in Lubbock after a reported reaction to medication.

Mulkey said Friday that she went to the hospital because she noticed she was taking deeper breaths than usual.

Blood work indicated what she called "major issues," leading to worries about anything from ovarian cancer to sepsis, an infection in the bloodstream.

Mulkey said she was "scared to death," but further testing shows she is improving.

Second-seeded Baylor faces Louisville in a Raleigh Regional semifinal Saturday.

"I feel much better than I did, but I’m not Kim. I go moments of being Kim, and then I get tired. ..." That's what she told the Waco Trib on Thursday. Even "moments of being Kim" will do! Sic 'em, Lady Bears!
