Hi all – this is Charles – I’ll be posting updates today as I get news. I’m in the waiting room at St. Luke’s now. The crew wheeled Hilary off to the operating room about 30 mins ago. She’s nervous (as am I), but in good spirits and genuinely glad that we are at this step, that surgery is really happening, and that cancer will be cut out today. Her docs, both the surgeon and anesthesiologist, are good peeps and inspire confidence. On top of that there have been several good omens thus far:
*One of the nurses who was prepping Hilary is named “Bong”. No further elaboration needed.
*The anesthesiologist lived in DC for a while, making him my DC homeboy.
*Probably most important, her surgery crew had a practice swing this morning. Apparently they did the exact same procedure on a 44 year old woman. No first tee jitters today!
Much more to come…thank you all for your love and support!
