I'm home from the hospital after spending the day waiting out my Mom's
surgery. It went extremely well. In fact she was in and out in just an hour.
It took longer to recover from the anesthetic than the surgery itself! So
that is great news. The surgeon seemed very pleased. So now we just wait for
pathology reports in the next few days. Until then, I'm off to keep her
company and clean her house in preparation for her return home next week. I
have yet to find an internet connection - wireless or otherwise - that works
within the hospital so my connection abilities are limited, at best. And I'm
too beat to do much online at night. But I know many of you were sending me
wishes and thoughts for my Mom and my family and I wanted to get on with a
quick update. I know we both appreciate it.

The hospital cafeteria is DELISH and they have the BEST baby store in the
area, oddly. So that's a bonus :-) And also? The surgeon is hot. And plus,
little bits and pieces of my faith in modern medicine is being restored, one
conversation at a time. More on this later, maybe. But it is definitely a
good thing!

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Please keep them coming for a
clean pathology report!
