Hurry up to wait.....
I know there are things that need to be done prior to surgery, but sometimes it just seems like time stands still......

We were to check into the hospital by 9am, so we did, but had no rooms...  but only waited for 30 minutes.  We are sharing a room right now, but are still on 8th floor.....  Larrys roommate is similar age, etc, but has not yet been recommended for LVAD yet..  He has had lots of questions for us....

Surgery is scheduled for 5pm..... hopefully it will be on time, etc....  empty waiting is hard on Larry....

So I will update here as Things happen.




6:15pm.... just took Larry back to surgery

7:00 pm   No word yet...

7:42pm    Still in surgery.......

8:10   Message fromTori, our nurse......
‘’We are getting finished up. He is a little bit oozy.
Probably will be in CVICU in about 30-45 minutes.
Gonna get some labs before we wake him up. ‘’

It is sooooo dang hard to watch him go through this stuff....



Btw - I forgot to mention the Dr Ransom encounter today... it was about 1 minute after I parked the car... i was in the lobby going into the admission area....   Dr tapped on the glass and asked Larry if he wanted him to pull them.....

Finally in cvicu
I am home finally for some rest.... when I got into his room he was hurting really bad, got him more pain meds and he was doing better, i stayed with him till it kicked in....
