After a night of semisleep, Rob awoke at 4 am, I followed suit at 4:30. (YUCK!!!) We were able to fall back asleep just to receive the wake up call from the nurse at 5:50 am. Wahoo! The day has started! Rob can hardly contain his excitement. (hehehe)
He had to shower with the "special cleanser" and then we waited the two hours for someone to get Rob for his 8:30 am date with the knife.
They just called to let us know that he is doing well. The surgery started about an hour ago (about 9:45 am). They will give us a call in a few hours to update.
Steve, Elaine (Rob's parents), Gloria (my Mom), and Megan (my sister) are here with me to keep me company.
Will post again when the next course is served (hehehehe). Poor Rob, he doesn't know how much fun I am having without him. ; )
The family last night - the kids wanted to say good night to their Daddy.
This picture is from this morning during the wait for the free ride to surgery! I really wanted to post the picture of Rob's half shaved upper body. He threatened me that if I did, he would post pictures of me (no, not what you are thinking - childbirth - I think that we have come to an agreement).
What you are reading is gallows humor. Trying to make light of an awful situation. (In case you think I am a) crazy, b) insensitive, or c) lame - I just wanted to let you know where I am coming from...)
