Colleen: surgery in progress: ok so far

[mdlbear]

Just had a brief consultation with an OB/GYN surgeon who had been called in to take a look at her ovarian cyst, which is about 10cm (estimating from his hand gestures). So that side goes for sure; I told him that Colleen and I had discussed this, and that she'd prefer that they take out the other one as well because of the downstream risk. It's not as if she's planning to use it again...

Other than that, things are going well. Everything seems straightforward. The surgeon said she'd probably still be here on Monday when we get the pathology report back; I'm guessing she'll be out Monday or Tuesday if her recovery goes well.

11:40 Taking out the ovaries was a slam-dunk; they appear to be done with the bowel resection and working on the hernia repair. So they might even be done early.

My prayers continue for a swift recovery for Colleen. I'm glad surgery has started off well. May everything be put in ship shape order with this single session! I think all y'all are sick and tired of hospitals for a while.

I keep sending good wishes for both of you, tho I'm not sure I always get them typed.
