Sandy got through the surgery today with no complications. The surgery was delayed about 3 hours due to a big line-up at the MRI machine. She is still in ICU and will be there until tomorrow sometime if all goes well. I’ve spent a half-hour at 7pm and another few minutes at 8pm. She’s looking good, talking (imagine that!) and of course cracking jokes a bit. And also begging for the ice chips that the nurses ration out - she can only have a little ice until tomorrow. She’s groggy and sore, has a lovely new hairdo, but is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The five hours of tense waiting for news from her surgeon lasted a lifetime, it seems. She said she feels better than the last surgery in October, so I guess it’s true you can get used to anything, even brain surgery. More tomorrow, as they are kicking me out of the hospital cafe now.
THANK YOU all for the continued love and prayers. It’s working.
Good night,
Dan
