I got to the hospital by 740am. I went upstairs to Ambulatory Care and Mom was already there. The nurse called her in around 815am. She was getting prepped for surgery, etc.. Dan and I got in to see her by 830am. She was already hooked up with an IV line and in a narrow transport bed. She was there until 11am. They wheeled her off to the OR and we got to hang out in the waiting room. Her procedure was supposed to be at 1030am. She didn't even go in until noon. We saw the suregon around 130pm and he gave us the update about Mom. The surgeon removed the cyst - about the size of a pea - and he believes that it is benign. Of course, he sent it to the lab and the test results will be in hopefully by Tuesday. She has to make a follow up appointment with the surgeon for 3/30. <a href="http://www.gigglechick.com/erin/blog/index.php">Erin</a> - you know the surgeon - remember Carney DeSarno? Class of 1985? Well - he's a DOCTAH now. Small world.
She wasn't able to get out of the recovery area and back up to Ambulatory Care until 330pm as there were no available beds until that time. David was the nurse that was assigned to her. He was an incredibly good looking black man with a great set of shoulders and arms. ::rowr:: He was nice enough to get Mom a sandwich and ginger ale. She was so hungry! While she was eating, another nurse brought Mom her clothes. After she finished eating her sandwich, Mom got dressed. David went over some medical information with and we were able to leave shortly after that. On the way home, I called my brother and let hin know what was going on with Mom. I got to Mom's house by 4pm and helped out with some stuff around here. I will be heading home in about an hour. I am beat.
It's been a looooong day.
