I did it!!!!

hi everyone, this is joanns mom, i am not sure i am at right site. she wanted me to post message for her support group. as you prob. know her surgery was for 6/25/03. she was to be at syracuse hosp. for 9:45 am, surgery was set for 11:45. well, dr came in and said i am sorry i forgot the residents would be leaving upon their graduations so my laproscopy team is not here. i can do "open" surgery or we can rescedule for 2 wks to a month down the road. with me here now for the kids she elected to go for it. ok, now we wait, finally at 2 pm she was taken in to OR. seems an orthropedic operation took longer and then an emergency surgery came in. can you believe they have 12 OR's upstairs and 4 down and they were all full!!!! however, 2 hrs and one half later she was in recovery, for 2 hrs. i finally got to see her about 6:30 pm. she let me go after 45 mins. 1 1/2 hrs to her house. when the dr came to see me he said he did not take her gall bladder, was not diseased, and did not biopsy her liver. (he studies liver/obesity and she had given permission) her room number is 5124 at syracuse hosp. the number there is 315-464-9477.
