Operation Day

Its 11:40am. Geri is still in pre-op waiting her turn. She is number 3 for the day and they have just taken No. 2 from pre-op so it will be 1:00pm before she goes to surgery. They have installed IV lines and an epidural line, the latter will remain in for a couple of days as long as she has the chest tubes. More later.

3:15pm Geri went to the operating theater at 2:40pm and will be there for about 2 hours. Will update after the surgery. The entourage is hanging out at the hospital after lunching in style on hot dogs from "The Varsity" (the infamous fast food joint near the hospital).

3.48pm Geri is still in surgery but the news is very good. Dr.O. (the leg surgeon) has just told us he had just looked at the sections from the lung and both areas are clear of cancer. The thoracic surgeon is still closing Geri up and will be out to tell us officially the results but Dr. O. knew we would be anxious. More later
