Surgery Day!

Today was Gene's surgery for his broken ankle. I woke up at 0400 and we had to be at the Surgery Center by 6 am which is a good 50 minutes away. We arrived and they took Gene back immediately. I got to stay with him until they gave him his happy meds. He said he remembered being wheeled through the door and that's it. When he finally woke up, he asked the nurses when his surgery would be because he was getting very sleepy! LOL The surgery was supposed to take about 45 minutes, but only ended up taking about 25. The Dr said they put in 2 screws and everything went great. Gene took a little longer to wake up than expected, but he was fine. So very funny to watch him when he doesn't really know what's going on :) I'm thankful that everything went well and I pray these next 4-6 weeks aren't too hard on either of us!
