F-Surgery Today

F=FOOT

Greg is going in for surgery today. Instead of the crack of dawn, we are to be there at 11:00. Hopefully, this final surgery will take care of his problem. Wish us luck. It sounds like the surgery will be more intense and last longer this time; and I will get to sit there the entire time waiting for him.

Maybe the dog and I will run over to Wendy's for a cheeseburger. Depending on time.

It is another dreary, dark, cold day out today. Last night it snowed again. I think that summer might just pass us by this year.

A blinding snow storm plagued us as we drove to the Speciality Hospital; hubby was starving and shaky as he had not had a thing to eat since midnight. We got there about 11:00 and he was immediately ushered back for surgery-prep. At 12:00 and 1:00, I took Isabelle for a walk. While reading a book and hoping that time would pass quickly - the electricity in the center went out suddenly! Several of us were waiting for patients and we all expressed concern. The staff assured us that they had emergency back-up generators for such a situation. After a tense 30 minutes, the power was finally restored.

Greg was finally released to Recovery about 3:00P. I went back to wait for him to be released. As his toe was bleeding into the bandages quite profusely, the nurse wanted to wait for a while to release him. We sat waiting for another hour.

After leaving the hospital we stopped at Quizno's to pick up CheeseSteak sandwiches - then at Wendy's for cheeseburgers for baby Isabelle. Getting home around 4:30~we were both exhausted. I got Greg set up in the recliner with an ice pack.

Quite a day.
