Waiting for Tomorrow!
This is the hardest! It is much easier being the nurse than the patient. After a myriad of calls from Pittsburgh today, the time was set, the directions were given, and all of our travel arrangements were made. But wait, I received a call at 6:30p.m. changing my surgery time. The original arrival time in Pittsburgh was 5:00a.m! Surgery was to be at 7:30. Now, arrival time is 8:30, surgery around 11:30. Well, at least we aren't getting up at 2:30 a.m. (I guess it doesn't matter-no one really sleeps.) My priest just left-he annointed me and prayed with us. He has been very attentive & helpful. So now, what does any normal person awaiting surgery tomorrow do? I think going to Handel's sounds like a good idea. I have to keep my strength up and quit losing weight, right? :) To all of you following this, I thank you for the love & encouragement. It helps more than you will ever know. Linda
