28. No, its not essy, but probably not as hard as being a family member in the waiting room

Wednesday

Some months back my wife had a surgical heart procedure via catherization, very low risk, and I was going nuts the whole time.

I couldn't even communicate with my sons and her sisters, and in any case, I had no information myself other than what was on a status screen.

This is a major cancer surgery and things can be minute to minute for the medical teams themselves and they may not be able to afford the distraction of communicating.

We all hope for the best, but she is not alone for sure. Having been such a warm and wonderful person, I'm sure she is bathed in love to which our own at DU, can only add.
