back to the story

On Wednesday August 12, 2009, Marie was scheduled to check in for surgery at 6:00am. It's a large room of curtained rooms filled with people waiting their turn for surgery. After a while the anesthesiologist and his assistant came in for their pre-work. At 8:00am Marie was wheeled away. I went to the waiting room. Since we had been through this before, I was a veteran of knowing where to go and what to do.
