I'm officially on the "Loser Bench"

Or rather my mom is. This is her daughter, Angelina. We arrived at the hospital at 9:30 a.m. after being called and asked if we can come an hour earlier than originally scheduled. (They were an hour ahead of schedule) Mom signed in, she was given a number, then she was wisked away to the pre-op room. Thad- her husband- and I sat in the waiting room for an hour (I think) and then we were called to where she was. She was prayed over by our pastor who visited and we stayed there for about 2 hours until she was rolled down to surgery. They started at 1:30 pm. The surgery took about 2 1/2 hours, then she had 1 hour in the recovery room. And now ever since 5:10 pm she's been in her room. About an hour afterwards she said she was in a bit of pain- 7 on a 10 point scale. Now she says it's a 3 or so. She's been sleeping and is smiling and talkative now. They told her she can't walk yet though and that she was the first one to ask to walk the day of surgery. They also said she's really the only one feeling like she is.

I'll update more tomorrow.
