Up at 4:45, we made it to Grace by 6:15, and then played "hurry up and wait', until 8:30. I was then taken to the surgical waiting area, where I met the doctors and nurses who would be in the OR. It was a nice gesture that my surgeon met me at the door of the operating suite to greet me and tell me what would be happening while I was there. After surgery to Recovery,where I again waited for about 2 hours, until they decided I could go back to the original area, where I waited until 1:00. Then I was asked if I could pee. Can I pee?? You better believe I can pee! I then had to pee while two nurses watched so they could be assured that, yes, I really did pee. Only then did they call David to tell him to come and get me. Finally home about 3:30, where, after sorting myself out, it was back to bed. I found out that the reason they had been so anxious to take the thing out, was because they were concerned about the size of it. Not a golf ball, but rather a quite large egg shaped thing, well encapsulated. They are quite certain it is benign, but I have been promised a call after the Pathology results get back. So now at least two weeks until I can get back to swimming.
So we had Chinese food for supper, and now I can look forward to going back to bed again, but without my little friend..
