We made it to the hospital in good time and with no incidents. Christine was in good spirits as she was admitted. We spent time talking and laughing, and the the surgeon came up and checked in with us - but we still had a long wait for the operating room. It was a late start.

I've been to lunch with Lenore and had a very sunny walk out on the Baylands of Redwood Shores.



I'm now in the surgery waiting room on the second floor of Sequoia. The status screen says her surgery started at 13:28, which means it took a nice long while from when they rolled her out of the prep space just around 12:45 to actually have the surgery start.

The volunteer checked in with me a few minutes ago: i knew the surgery could be 5-6 hours, the volunteer said the nurse said it could to 7 hours. Then there are two hours of recovery... so it will be a while before i see her again.

Everything is fine so far. I'm going to head down to the cafeteria, i think and then be back up in the waiting room at 6:30.

That is so, so many hours. D: I'm glad to know, by the time I read this, that she got through it all okay.
