April 20, 2009

Early Morning
Lynn and I got up around 4:30 this morning. She took another shower using the soap she is supposed to use before the surgery, gathered up everythng, and then headed out to the hospital. We got there around 5:30...exccellent choice of parking spaces, not surprisingly. Right now, the nurses are giving her ANOTHER shower. (They had to give her one after she got shaved...I'll avoid THAT topic, however.) We also got the scoop on the next day. She should be in surgery for about 3 hours. Then, she gets out, and they stabilize her. About an hour later, we'll briefly get a chance to see her. Then, they put her in the heart surgery ICU, where no one can see her until tomorrow, probably late morning. The next step will be a transfer to the regular hospital, and she will be able to have visitors. That won't be until tomorrow in the afternoon or so.

Lynn's blood pressure was 110/80...pretty good. (I told the nurse I was glad they weren't taking MINE!) Everything else is as normal as it can get. After she gets back from the shower, we should get a visit from Dr. Blossom, then, it'll be show time.
