Surgery

Today, for many people, was a day just like any other day. Fall colours glistened in the sunshine of a crisp, blue skied autumn day. My husband and I drove to the city anticipating the surgery that would enable him to breathe normally again. I think we were both a little nervous, and yet excited at what the surgery would do. Shortly after our arrival, we kissed good-bye and he was whisked into the operating room. A couple of hours later I found him in recovery, heavily sedated. The operation was a success, now for the recovery period. How much medication does it take to keep a good man down---I think we are about to discover! Thank God we live in a time and place where this surgery was possible. Life is still good.
