Just texted Terry to see if I could find out how Mom’s surgery is going. She texts back this:
Mom went in at 6am. It started at 9am. Supposed to take 4 hours. She will be having her ribs cracked for this one. You can only have a minimally invasive surgery once. Her recovery will be longer because of that. They also have to take out the old ring first before they can start. Will let you know when I do.
Yesterday Mom told me it would be SIX hours, not four. Maybe the actual surgery is four hours, but the time in the operating room is six hours, including prep and closing up? I don’t know. Anyway, I will post more, as soon as I hear it.
