And so it Begins

Today started off with Stephanie waking me up saying "It's four" the problem with that is I had set my alarm for 3:30. Then I found out I accidentally set my alarm for 3:30PM...oops.
So we got a later start than we were hoping and to rush around to get ready and leave by 4:35. We made it on time though and after signing some papers for the financial stuff we were ushered back to the prep room. Stephanie got dressed in her hospital gown and got some long leggings and socks out of the deal too. She was stuck twice more, once to take more blood for more blood work, and once for the IV. I got to watch Mike and Mike in the morning during all this, so I was happy. We met one of Dr. Pou's residents, Dr. Burke, and she was very nice as well, so were all the nurses that were taking care of her this morning. we were told that the surgery would take a while to actually start, maybe as late as 9:00am, but the lady just told us they had started at 7:30. Stephanie's pulse was going pretty fast this morning as I'm sure you can imagine, so the nurse anesthetist gave her some versed, which pretty much knocked her out like a light in about 3 and a half seconds. So now we (me, Stephanie's parents, and my mom) are all waiting in the waiting room, and my mom is standing four feet away from a gigantic tv that she hijacked to watch her stories because she has to get her NBC fix. That's all for now, more later.
