Beth's Surgery update - 11:00am est

11:15am- Hour number four. Only update from the nurse is that "everything is going fine back there". Thanks for that update nurse Wynn...

Glad there is Wifi in the waiting room, but this wireless network doesn't allow Facebook access. Bummer. Another irritating thing is that there are very few electrical outlets round this place. Running on a low battery and will have to sit on the floor by the women's bathroom to recharge the laptop here soon. That should be fun.

I was way more nervous for Beth's 1st surgery than I was for this one. Her 1st one lasted 9 hours, a couple of hours longer than expected. Was a nervous wreck. I thought this one was going to be a relatively easy surgery. Not the case. Everything is different. Everyone seems so much more focused and business like. We are even in a completely different area of the hospital than the 1st one. Not that there was anything wrong with the way the nurses and doctors went about their business with the 1st surgery, it's just that people are taking this one a little more serious. Everyone has their game face on. Even nerdy little Dr. Stallnecker had a different demeanor to him this morning. That should have made me feel more comfortable right? It actually did the opposite. It made me realize that there is some serious stuff going on here. I guess it all makes sense. The 1st one was chop and remove - how much damage could you do?This one takes a little more skill and attention to detail.

Gotta set up camp outside the women's bathroom...
