Still waiting.....

So the surgery waiting area is a small area where all the families sit around and a nurse walks thru every hour, on the hour to give updates. It creates a tension...waiting for that time to get closer. Waiting for the smiling nurse to come through just so she can say "everything is going fine" and then walk away. Watching the smiling doctors come through with their coffee cups in hand. How many cups of coffee should a doctor drink in a day?? Watching them tell the other families how everything went great, or worse watching other families cry and being happy that it isn't you....and then feeling bad about that. I couldn't stand to sit THERE so I went down to the Ronald McD lounge. Nice atmosphere but then I'm partial to mission......very calming. They have COFFEE, food and very comfy chairs. 12:00 update Everything is fine. The doctor is ready for me now.....gotta go.
