Hernia Repair Day !!

Hi readers,
We were up between 2 and 3am with Anne having pain, but this morning at 8:30 we arrived at MMC for the hernia repair, and Anne had pink cheeks and smiles.  Finally this day has come.  We're hoping she'll feel alot better after she gets past this surgery.  Then, there will be only one thing to think about, chemo-therapy.  As you know, this is the last of several things (procedures and surgeries) that have happened to Anne during the past 2 weeks.  It's been alot.

At 10:45am she was taken into surgery with her Dr., Dougald MacGillivary.  Yes, that should ring a bell, he did the esophagectomy 1 1/2 years ago.  This surgery was expected to take more than 2 hours.  Now it's 1:40pm.

Speaking of the devil, Dr. MacGillivary just came out and said it went very well.  He said Anne might be a very uncomfortable for a couple of days.  He said she should spend the night here at least tonight, and we'll go from there.

She'll be in recovery for at least 1 1/2 hours, then I can see her.

I'll write more later.

Thanks for being there, and for your prayers.

More to come....
