TBW Daily Diary

Well, today was the day beginning at 6:00 this morning. The operation began at 7:30 after the usual preps and endless questions about name and date of birth(of course all that information was printed on his wristband). The operation went well according to his doctor, but it did take about five hours. Ronn will spend the night in the ICU; if all goes right, he will be given a room tomorrow. We saw him before I came home. He's hurting, but was talking sanely, even making some jokes. The really good news is that his doctor said that there was no sign of cancer anywhere but in the bladder(which has now been "blasted away"). Thank you everyone who has and are praying for Ronn and to all who have voiced their concern and good wishes. I'd like to especially thank Eileen, Bob,Angela,and Larry who came to the hospital to keep me company through a seemingly endless wait, which would have seemed eternal had I been alone. On a completely unrelated note, does anyone like this cold weather..... w
