A funny thing happened on the way to the hospital…

Well, it was actually after we got to the hospital and it wasn’t so funny. My dad, whose cancer has returned, was about to be wheeled into the operating room for a very complicated and high-risk surgery. But there was a slight problem with his EKG and his very conscientious anesthesiologist didn’t want to proceed without talking to his cardiologist

My thoughts are with you and your family as you work through this trying situation. So scary. Best of luck and outcomes to you all. And, yay for conscientious anesthesiologists!

I believe things happen for a reason, too. Though waiting around the hospital for 4 hours is not fun. *hugs*

Thank you so very much.

Truer words...

And it gave us a scare when they called the waiting room a mere thirty minutes after the surgery was supposed to have started, though in hind sight we should have known they wouldn't give us bad news over the phone. But I guess we weren't thinking straight at that moment. Heh.
