Just Stroll-ing Along . . .

the surgery went as well as was expected and despite being in excruciating pain, mar seems to be doing ok. they ended up taking out 15" inches, instead of the 4" or 5" that they previously thought was diseased. her surgery was supposed to be at 1, but they didn't take her back to the o.r. until 2, and it was about 7 before we could see her. even being in pain and on drugs, mar still had her sense of humor. brian was patting her hand and she asked who it was, and i said, "your favorite son-in-law" and she said, "oh, brandon's here?" and cracked a smile. good ol' mar.
i was pretty surprised when i saw her surgeon ... she looked like she was about 30 years old. i'm not sure why that surprised me, and maybe it wasn't really surprise, but i was just expecting an older person. but she was very confidant and obviously did a job well done.
i'm the only one at work today, which is crap, because i wanted to leave early and go up to the hospital. i guess this is what i get for working at place that only has 3 employees. oh well.
