Reconstruction Day - Early Morning

It's going to be a long day. We were up at 4:30 this morning and dropped the boys off with a friend at 5:30 (Bless you, Lisa!). Spiff has his last day of school before Thanksgiving vacation and Entropy Boy will probably be playing games all day.

We arrived at the hospital about 6:00 and went through the standard preadmission screening. After that, we met with the anesthesia intern, who goes to our church, and then the plastic surgeon. They took her back into surgery at about 7:30 and I was told to expect the whole process to take about 12 hours.

I'm up in the waiting room now and it is full. The TV is relatively quiet (God does answer prayer...) and most people are reading or working on computers. THe woman across from me pulled out a huge skein of yarn, the size of a basketball, and is carefully winding it into a tight ball. I wonder how far she'll get today.
