Surgery Complete! - Post Surgical update #1

From "the boy"...

A quick note to friends and family that my beautiful wife (she will be henceforth referred to as "small one") is doing well...

Small one has emerged successfully from her surgical procedure!  We met with the surgeon (who we like so very much) and he assured us things went well.  Turns out small one's tiger belly was pretty angry so he was glad that we all made the decision to do surgery.  No ostomy bag necessary (Ashley will be thrilled!!!!) and no complications.  Small one remains in the PACU (Post-Anasthesia Care Unit...or Recovery room) for the moment so we have not seen her yet.

So far my favorite things from the day...

1. Seeing my wife in pre-op area after taking her pre-surgical "happy pill" (sooooo much more relaxed)

2. My wife glaring at me after I offered her (in an attempt to be funny) a sip of my water on the way to the hospital

3. 3-4 hours of daytime judge talk shows in the waiting area coming to an end . . . only to be replaced by local news (which is like trading penile cancer for rectal cancer)

4. The wide-eyed nurse in pre-op who told me "boy, your wife talks a lot when she gets nervous!"

5. Hearing the news that the love of my life is recovering well after surgery with no complications

More updates to follow

  1. Great News!!!! Been praying all day. I've know she could talk almost her whole life, so that doesn't surprise me at all.
