It's been a very busy day. Got up at 5 this morning so we could be at the SurgiCenter for John's surgery by 6:15 as scheduled. Saw a beautiful full moon still shining over the pond as we pulled out of the driveway.
We arrived with time to spare. Just as we were checking in, our friend Joan came walking in. I was surprised but happy to see her. Always good to have friends around when you are waiting and hoping all will go well with surgery. Soon Paula arrived with coffee and Boberry biscuits. It was a full fledged party now.
John was called in a few minutes and off he went for prep. Apparently, the doctor was running behind schedule because the 7:00 surgery morphed into a 9:00 surgery. But, we got it done. Met with the doctor, the surgery went well and the lymph node was removed.
When John was in the recovery room, Joan and I were allowed to go back and stay with him. It was mandatory he wait for one hour to make sure all was okay before we could leave. Didn't take long for us to find him in the maze of curtains. John is a lot of things, but "quiet" is not one of them. He was ragging the nurse pretty hard, and it seemed as though she was loving every minute of it.
During that time, we got instructions for the drainage tube, medications, and other pertinent things we needed to watch for.
Before long, we had our wagon headed home. Another item checked off the list and glad my baby is back home and on the road to recovery.
Pulling hard on my wagon!
