Beth had her surgery today. The doctors had said to plan for 3 hours, it took maybe 90 minutes. The doctor said everything went really well, there were no problems. Beth was lucky enough to get a room fairly quickly, only spending a few hours in recovery (they told me that some people had been in recovery since yesterday so I guess things were thinning out). I killed a lot of time waiting for Beth to be lucid enough for me to see her; in the end I just went home since there was no place for me to stay overnight anyway and I figured mom could use the help to get the kids down.
