Surgery Day

The surgeon said the operation went well. Now we have to hope for a good recovery. Always some danger when you cut someone's bowel apart and sew it back together!  I'm glad laparoscopic surgery worked out for someone in this family. He wanted mom in ICU for one night, hopefully just the one night. She can get her tube thing out tomorrow he said and they will get her up. Good luck with that! Prep night was long, I don't think Mom got any sleep. Glad it is over. I hope she gets some rest.

I saw two relatives at the hospital, privacy concerns prevent me from naming one but it looked to be a routine test. Second one works there so it was nice to see Barb Ragan. 

The surgeon said it would be a couple of hours at least, so I went to cafeteria and had breakfast and sat there for a while, fake sipping my empty coffee cup so I could have a break from my mask. Then I walked out to the car and grabbed my sweatshirt, and decided to go back to the waiting area, and it wasn't one minute before the surgeon came out. Good timing, and speedy too.

Glad it is done!
