Surgery #1

I'm writing tonight to let you know how Marilyn's day went. We were at the hospital by 7:30 and got her checked in and they took her to get her ready for the surgery. I was allowed to go which I was very appreciative of. The nurses were wonderful! When the doctor checked with us before surgery we got the first good news of the day. The results of the PET scan came back and there were no new areas of concern, just what we knew from the CAT scan and colonoscopy. Marilyn went into surgery about 9 and was done by 11:15. The doctor came and talked to me about 11:30 and said everything had gone well. When I could see her in her room she was awake but of course in some pain. She could control the pain medicine which was great. She sleep a lot at the beginning but as the day wore on she took less pain medication and was awake longer. She even got to watch her favorite show Jeopardy. Marilyn is sleeping now and if we can figure out the internet in her room she will write on her blog from there. Thank you for all your prayers and support.
