Surgery on a Rainy Day...

The doctors decided to do mom's leg surgery today rather than Monday. She went into surgery around 1:00 PM and was finished at 3:30 PM. The surgeon said it went very well and she tolerated it surprisingly well. He said that surgery confirmed that this was the best decision; she had very little circulation in her lower leg anymore.
Mom is awake now and eating some crackers and her oh-so-yummy hospital dinner so she can take her pain pills; she is in quite a bit of pain. She is experiencing the weird sensation of feeling an itch on her foot...even though the foot isn't there anymore. Her vitals are good and her dressing is dry.

As always, we thank all of you for your comments, phone calls, and, most of all, your prayers.
