End of a long day.  45 minute surgery, 2 hours in recovery and another 3 hours to find Pat a room.  Mayo Clinic was real busy today.  Pat is doing remarkably well considering the last surgery.  You was awake the good portion of the afternoon, pain was moderate but she was alert and surprised at how well she felt.  She was even looking for food mid-afternoon, although she is on a clear liquid diet at the moment.

If she has a good night she could be released as early as tomorrow.  We have a hotel room till Friday so if they release her tomorrow, we will stay in Jacksonville the night to avoid the 3 hour drive with her so quickly after surgery.
