Today started out early - 4:30am. Dad got up early as he was worried for mom’s surgery. Her admission time was for 9:30am but for some reason they both thought we had to be at the hospital 3 hours before then. So we get to the hospital at 6am. Only to find out the 3 hours before the surgery was the 9:30am admission. So needless to say we had a long wait.
The day surgery unit was kinda freaky, like you see in the apocalyptic movies. I found out later that this unit was an old Covid unit which never got used.
Around the 12:25pm timeframe rolls around and she is taken to surgery. It is supposed to be 2 hours so I go back to stay with dad for a while.
Dad had an eye appointment today so his eyes were sore. I make both of us a sandwich and spend some time with him.
It was close to 4 so I headed back to the hospital. Checked the short term unit and she was just getting out of surgery - was told it would be a good hour before she was out of recovery.
Let the waiting game begin…. 7:55pm and I finally get to see her in the short term unit room. She looks better than when she went in and was very spry. Not sure if it was the drugs she was on but I hope she stays on them (joking). We will see what tomorrow brings and how she is doing after a night in the hospital.
