Grandma's surgery went well!
Our day started off on Wednesday a little earlier than usual. We got the kids off to school at the usual time and Meagan headed to the sitter about 8AM. Rod & I headed to the hospital to wait for his mother's surgery details. We hit McD's for breakfast and next door to Starbucks for our morning coffee and we headed down the road to the hospital. She had already been wheeled in to surgery so we waited and visited with a good friend who was there for moral support. By the way this was not life threatening surgery. She had a knee replacement done. About 9:30 we were taken to the consultation room and the doctor came in and said everything went well and as long as she keeps it moving she should be in good shape. We went back out and waited while she was in recovery and just before noon she was taken to her room. We went up and saw her, she was doing pretty good and so we headed home to catch the kids who had early release at noon. Into the grind of homework and many other things , dinner at about 6:30 and headed back to the hospital about 7:30pm. She was more awake of course this time. She didn't keep her dinner down. I think the anesthesia was still playing games to her system. Hopefully today will be much better. They are suppose to get her out of bed and walking today. We'll see how that goes. If all goes well she'll be off to rehab in a couple days.
