Surgery is over! Dr. Cobb came out about 3:30 (or 3:31, whatever
it takes) to tell us JSH was out of surgery. Said it had gone well. The
procedure was as expected, and they saw no signs of anything abnormal. His
blood pressure was good, and Dr. Bebeau will extubate him shortly and he will
be breathing on his own soon.
Pathology on the removed tissue will be back in about 5
days, but they’re not expecting anything controversial or surprising from that.
He should be in his room in ICU in about an hour and should
be in the hospital for up to two weeks - still no visitors during his
hospitalization, as they will be watching carefully for infection.
I apologize for the somewhat dry nature of this post. During
his last hour of surgery, I discovered some new error with my laptop (DON’T buy
a Dell. EVER.) and am not looking forward to having it erased and rebuilt again
next week. So some of my energy has been sapped due to the continued failure of
this piece of junk. If this had been something I had purchased, you can bet a
strongly worded communication would already have been sent to the
manufacturer/retailer. This is something I learned from the man who is
currently in Recovery. Trust me, you haven’t lived until you’ve heard him say, “Let
me speak to your supervisor.”
As for the title of this post, it comes from one of JSH’s
favorite movie combos: Analyze This and Analyze That. If you haven’t seen them,
you owe it to him to rent or buy them today. Look, you can get both for only
$6.49 on Amazon. Here’s a handy link: http://www.amazon.com/Analyze-This-That-Double-Feature/dp/B000RETOGU/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371672290&sr=8-2&keywords=analyze+this
You’re welcome. Oh, and they’re rated R for language and
violence. But A+ for humor.
