Finally the morning arrived. We got to the hospital at 6:00am and Bob went right back to be prepped. Then he laid in that prep for 2 hours with no sedation, even though we requested some.
Finally 3 anesthesiologists came in at 8:00. All were very personable, asked a few questions, and mercifully took him back to put in the arterial lines and other stuff. Fortunately as they wheeled him out of the cubicle, I saw the chief anes. administer some Verset(SP?), the drug that makes you forget. They told me to expect the operation to take 6hrs. - 45min. +.
Once again I have been told to expect a multitude of tubes when I next see Bob in the ICU and that he will still be intibated. Can you imagine Bob not being able to talk?
I brought lots of things to do, including this computer which can only be used in some parts of the hospital. Bob specically asked me to continue this blog and to say thank you so much for all the prayers and positive vibes from our friends and family.

Thanks for the update- It helps the wait when we are informed!
I just spoke to Bertsy. She was sorry she could not talk to you this morning but is praying for you throughout the day.
All of us are praying for a successful surgery and speedy recovery
Love,
