I spoke to Mary on the phone last night from her room. I talked to her nurse first, who said she was doing just fine, other than the normal discomfort, but that she had her little morphine button and was making good use of it. Then the nurse handed Mary the phone. She told me it took a while to get to the hospital, due to the weather and that about 17 cars were off the road. She made it on time tho, and went to her room about 4 hours after going into surgery. She probably won't remember our conversation, but she really was excited to know it's done now, and the healing and losing begin. HOORAY!!! I plan to call here again this afternoon and will update again!
