Su Su (Al's Mom) Grandpa Bob (Al's Dad) and I saw Al and Jack off to surgery @ about 8:00AM. Sam is taking care of Grandpa Jim (Al's Step-Dad) back on the home front, and Uncle Tim (my bro) has been in town and will be over this PM to support his big brother. Tough day and a half thus far; having two family members in surgery at the same time. I took Jack into the Surgery room and I was clearly more nervous than he was. During prep prior to the surgery room, Jack was running all over the ward showing everyone his "sweet jammies" (his term) and chatting with the Docs. Al was next door getting prepped. That let us hang out together for an hour before it all started. She got her pre- anethestesia there, were Jack was sober as a Judge until the surgery room. Al was clearly dismayed with the choice of wardrobe they gave her. She also got the white compression stockings, which actually looked pretty good on her. The booties, which help for circulation for her legs, did nothing for her, though. We kept things pretty light until Al headed in, which brought a bit more reality to the situation.
I’ll post another blog when we get some news…..
