Judi is all checked in and is in surgery now. She gave her medical history at least three times, all the time asking when do they start the drugs. The adolescent annethesiologist resident assured Judi that he had a pocketful of miracles to relieve her every pain and angst but that she had to be lucid to answer all the physician's questions. I assured Judi that the attending anesthesiologist would surely be a grown up and not to worry but no, he was also very young also but both seemed competent.
The Surgeon, Dr. De Hoyos had that stereotyped, surgical, overly confident air of someone who is ready to take on any challenge and kick it's butt. Luckily he is not in Arizona so no fear that a sheriff will come in and check to see his passport.
Once they gave Judi something to relax, we began her usual sleep exercise by counting musicals instead of sheep. We got up to "I" before they rolled her into surgery. "E" was a little weak, if anyone has any suggestions.
I assured Judi that even though she eats shell fish that G-d knows how many people she has helped in her life, that everyone was praying for her, some in Hebrew and that she would be fine.
