Daily Cut

After giving him the worst time about what a bad patient he was for not letting me help him more I must say I'm pretty proud of Mr. Room 1114. We got there at 6:30...they took him back around 8:50...he was out of recovery around 10:30...and we were home by 4. Plus...he'd yet to take a pain pill until about 20 minutes ago. Seriously...the nurses kept calling him their *rock star* because he was doing so well. The surgery went well too...just as they expected it would and so far he doesn't seem to be feeling the gall bladder pain he'd been experiencing...so it seems to have worked!

It was good to have our minister and his mom with me too. Paul prayed with us before the surgery...that always helps me feel better. And Linda sat with me through the whole surgery...it was a big help because I wasn't so much nervous but the time would've passed so much slower had I not had anyone to talk with. In fact; I'm so glad Paul came and prayed with us because I had anticipated being super nervous and anxious. I usually am in most medical situations...I think my childhood has totally skewed my reactions when it comes to medical issues. So...I was so at ease knowing he was in great hands and knowing he would feel so much better when it was all said and done.

Ahh...now this really was a good day!
