Surgery Morning

We arrived at 6:15 this morning, and Jon was already up going to the bathroom and brushing his teeth. They did a few things to get him ready to go to the operating room. The nurse brought him some really sexy (compression) stockings. She wrestled them on over his ridiculously large calves and had him pull them up to his thighs! He was ready to go with his gown and stockings on. However, no one was there to get him yet. He waited patiently in bed for his "chariot" to arrive. He took a nice nap for about 45 minutes, and then they finally arrived.

They wheeled him down many different halls, and I have no idea how we got where we were going! We arrived in the operating prep where the nurses checked him in. We met Josè, the nurse that would be in the surgery with him, and the anesthesiologist also came to get started. I said goodbye and kissed him. I had to leave when it was time for him to get his epidural catheter (for pain management).

We are currently in the waiting room waiting to see him one more time before he goes into surgery. He will probably not remember seeing us, but we will remember seeing him ;)

I will continue to keep everyone posted throughout the day.
