God bless the anesthesiologist

We took mom in for her surgery today. The doctor put all the little pieces on her tibia back together so they can heal properly.

We waited around the hospital for what seemed like an unendurable amount of time, mostly because it was so incredibly cold. I know it's kept so cold to avoid all the bacteria and whatnot, but really.

All that's important though is that mom is doing just fine. She has to stay overnight as it's not the type of thing they book as outpatient surgery, but that's for the best because they can handle her care better at the hospital than we could here. She's been saying she'll go back to school in a week, but the doctor doesn't seem to like that idea too much. It's seems it will probably be better to stick to a two week time period, with overall three months for total recovery.

So keep her in your prayers, all the tough stuff is ahead of us.
