Susan's surgery, 1:30 PM update
The room matron (well, that may not be fair) just checked with the surgical desk. Susan is projected to be out of the OR about 2 pm.
Susan's surgery, 1:15 PM update
Sorry to say there's no news yet. As far as I know Susan is still in the operating room. We're going on five hours from when she was taken into the operating room area.
The Auxiliary snack bar is right next door to the waiting room so I stopped there for lunch. Long counters, swivel chairs, ladies calling you "Hon." I'm back in Capwell's Department Store lunch room. On the other hand the ladies (and I think that's still politically correct) are all volunteers and very sweet. I think there's an inverse relationship between sweetness and efficiency.

Just heard from the LOL room monitor - Susan is not yet out of the operating room.
Susan's surgery, update 10:20 AM
This post is for you who are reloading, reloading, reloading. There's nothing new to report from the surgical waiting room but I have to admit that my head snaps up everytime the door to the surgical suites at the back side of the waiting room opens.
The room is monitored by a sweet, talkative older retired lady, a volunteer. It's just comfortably full today with a half dozen groups waiting for word on their loved ones. I heard from the room monitor that it can get quite crowded as it did for a period a few weeks back, with people even sitting on the floor.
I'm going to step out to stretch my legs. I may go see if the other café has good coffee. Thanks for stopping by. More soon.

Susan's surgery, update 8:50 AM
Those of you reading this from Facebook know that Susan is in surgery today for, um, female reproductive stuff. Enough said. We arrived at the hospital at 5:30 am and she was taken into the operating suite at 7:30 am. She's expected to be done and into the recovery room about noon today.
I will update her situation from time to time here on my blog (link below). Not all my Facebook friends will want these updates so I will unlink my blog posts from Facebook for the time being. Please come on over to my blog for updates on Susan. Remember that you may need to tell your web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.) to refresh in order to get the latest news.

I'm hanging out in the hospital's surgical waiting room where, by the way, the public wifi is blazing fast, just in case you wanted to know. (>3000 kbs downstream, >4000 kbs upstream, accessible from the cafeteria.)
I know that many of you are praying for Susan. Thanks for your support - it's greatly appreciated.
