Paul got some morphine and slept like a baby last night. We stayed in the hospital all day so the various docs could see us… The general Practitioner (GP, Paul’s heart doctor (to make sure he was good for the operation), and finally the surgeon. We decided that since a) we were already here and 2) the pain was not pleasant we would proceed and get it fixed!
Sue had been at Paul’s side all day and needed lunch and a glass of wine. Our dear friend Michael came up and took Sue out for dinner!
We got scheduled for 9:00 PM (if there were no emergencies that bumped the schedule). At 8:30 PM they came and got Paul. He went into the operating room at 9:00 PM and 45 minutes later the surgeons went to visit Sue in the operating room waiting area pronouncing his fit-as-a-fiddle. They told Sue “Go home,,, It;s 10:00 PM and Paul will be out for three hours plus! Being smart, she called Vicky and they went home..
No big deal! Small cuts and some stitching
At 10:15 PM, Sue got a the call from Paul saying “I’m awake and being moved to the regular room!”… we decided Sue should stay home!
It was a quick job… We used glue!
