The many sides of waiting …

Many of us spent DAYS waiting to see what Dorian is going to do. … I wrote about waiting, which involved packing boxes, watching movies, swimming, cooking and drinking wine! This waiting for surgery is different. First "they" strip you naked and give you a gown. "Don’t tie it up; we will be moving it"… Then "they" search for veins. Actually the "they" here at Baptist hospital are pretty girls. I think they do that so we will relax being proded and poked .. Chuck was so calm! I was the nervous one and I had nothing to do and no place to go. When they rolled him off to surgery… him sleepy, I wanted to throw myself on that bed and be the one under the warm blanket. It’s hard to wait when a loved one is in the eye of the storm. God be with my dear husband !!!
