Surgery Alert

Last night, Monday, April 15, mom told us that she was scheduled for surgery in the next 48 hours.  Checking with the nurses, we found out that this indeed was true.  Surgery was scheduled for this morning but could be cancelled depending on emergency cases; we were to check with the nurses’ station after 

9:00 a.m. (8-9 is their busy time checking on patients) and the nurses also said they would contact us if they found out mom was going in to surgery (although they said it could be only 15 minutes notice).

At 9:10 a.m. I phoned the nurses’ station to find out that mom was taken to surgery at 7:30 this morning.

So, mom is in surgery as I write; she will not be out for at least another 3 hours and family is not permitted in recovery during the day.  I will update as information becomes available.
