Surgery Day - Part 1

I slept for about 2 hours. Susan got about 6.

I got Susan up at 5am and we got to UPMC at 5:30. I was with Susan in the Surgical Waiting Area until about 7:30 when they kicked me out. They have actually been incredibly kind. They let her take her ipod into the pre-op holding area and listen to it until she was under. The nurse then found me in the waiting area and returned the ipod.

I am in the surgical family waiting room now. It's very comfortable with various waiting areas with TVs and Wifi internet. There is a large flat screen monitor that tells us the stage of the surgery. It's 9:15am and according to the screen, Susan is in the OR but surgery hasn't started yet.
