Finally!

I've been a little cranky the last few days. It was so frustrating to wait for surgery for 4 days and Scott was only allowed to eat/drink for two 12-hour periods during that time. Again, today he fasted all last night and all day until about 4:30pm when he was finally taken to the O.R. It is finally done. The hernia repair was done with only local anesthetic and Scott was feeling fine but starving when I saw him at 9:30pm tonight. He can't feel anything yet and he was completely coherent and ate faster than I've ever seen him eat before! Hopefully he can come home tomorrow or the next day. We'll see what the transplant team says tomorrow. Maybe the end of the hospital stay is really here!? If they decide to keep him for 3 more days it will be exactly 6 months since he was admitted after his last hernia surgery. Wow, Scott could win a contest for the most scars in the most places I'll bet. If you think you could win I'm really sorry!!
