Surgery Day....

The day started very early this morning with a 5:30am wake up from the nurse.  Joe showered using the special soap/scrub brush he had been given and slipped into his gown....and then we waited.  We should be really good at it by now.  First to arrive was Joe's sister Bettie and his mother.  Then came our minister, Jay Minnick and bringing up the rear was my sister Phyllis, and niece's Aimee & Sara.  We sat around and joked & laughed until they finally came for him around 11:30am. Up to pre-op and then they ran me out of pre-op about 12:45.  We were notified at 2pm that the surgery had begun.  So now we wait some more.

4pm report from the nurse is that everything was progressing as expected.  Open to interpretation, but I choose to believe the surgeon is working magic back there!
