that gust of wind is my sigh of relief...

[saturn]

My mother's out of surgery and in recovery. [insert massive sigh of relief] I don't think I realized just how wound up I was until I heard that the surgery was over. Her doctor expects that she'll be in the hospital until Sunday or Monday and, by Tuesday, we'll have confirmation on the tests their doing on the surrounding area. It's also expected that she'll have five rounds of radiation. But I'm not concerning myself with that right now. Tonight I'm going to have a glass of wine and appreciate that my mother's out of surgery and one step closer to healthy.
