Surgery time: E-e-e-early arrival!

Okay, we're all set. We have to be at the hospital by 6:45 a.m. tomorrow, Wednesday, Sept. 23. Surgery at 8:45 a.m., and Bill is the first patient. Yay!

Bonus: The hospital has valet parking--woo hoo! That makes it easier than negotiating the MASSIVE parking garage across from the MASSIVE hospital. This way, once we're inside the hospital, we can get lost much more quickly.

AFTER THE SURGERY, WE WILL GET NEWS, THEY TELL US!
Sometimes, you get ZERO news after surgery and must wait 7 working days for the pathology report, but they told us we will definitely get SOME information from the surgeon tomorrow.

But then we thought that maybe we should go with the AntiPsychosis Too - Much - Information - Avoidance - Plan, and if it is bad news, ask the surgeon to kindly keep it to himself, and just tell us where to show up for the next Bladder Party Event.

And Bill was only half kidding with that idea!

They think we will almost definitely be released by noon on Thursday, so we will get home to Blowing Rock before dark Thursday. Hoooray! Bill might not feel great (no stitches, but the mother of all aches will most likely be occurring You Know Where), but he is apparently going to have some envy-inducing medications to get him through.

I'll post again tomorrow night, with EVERYTHING the surgeon tells us, when i get back to this hotel and to my laptop after leaving Bill for the night.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS AND LOVE AND FOR BEING OUR FRIENDS!!!!!!!
