Surgery

We got up at 4 yesterday morning. I had preset the coffeepot so that was ready upon awakening. After getting dressed and ready to leave, I put the prepared food in a small ice chest, coffee in a couple travel mugs. Made sure the kitties had food and water. We then headed out the door and up to San Mateo. Traffic wasn't as bad as we had been expecting. We did hit the morning work traffic in the Bay Area, but it was traveling smoothly, no hang ups. Of course, with 2 of us, we were able to use the diamond lane. We got to the hospital around 8 or so, around 3 1/2 hours travel time. Kellie's sister and her husband, her niece and a good friend were there. We waited and talked while Kellie finished the paperwork. We went upstairs with her, then down again, when they were done upstairs. We had a chance to pray with and over here. Went into the waiting room and there were 2 of her daughters friends there, then the daughter came in, all together 10 people were there for her. She was able to visit with her mom before she went into surgery. The surgery was a little longer then she was told at first, around 2 1/2 hours. When the doctor came in she told us there were no surprises. Tissue samples were sent to a lab and results will be around Wed. We ate some lunch and waited for a little time then we were able to visit with her. We left around 4:30 as she was being wheeled into a private room. If all is well, she is going home today. I will call in a day or so, giving her a chance to get home and settle in. Her sister will stay with her, but they know I am only a phone call away if they need me to come and help. One of the nice things about being retired is I have the time to do that!!
