Surgery over. All is well.

Hey folks, Rob here.

Sue is out of surgery and recuperating at the IWK. It took them about 45 minutes this morning just to find a viable vein to start the anesthetic IV, and she bled a little more than expected, so between those two things her surgery didn't end until around 1:00 or so. They were supposed to start at 8:45 and be done by noon, so by the time the surgeon came out to talk to me I was starting to climb the walls of the waiting room. However, she said everything went well and there was no visual evidence of any abnormalities to worry about. I'm assuming they'll take some tissue samples and do a path report, but I may be wrong on that.

Sue looked *much* better when they brought her up to her room than she looked after her first surgery. No nausea either. They suppposedly gave her some motion sickness meds before moving her upstairs, and she kept her eyes closed as well to try and head off any vertigo.

Barring any setbacks she'll be able to come home tomorrow, hopefully in the morning.

Thanks to all of you who sent thoughts, prayers and best wishes!
