We just found out that Tim is going to have surgery today at 1:00. It's the surgery that basically sticks the lung to the chest wall so hopefully the lung won't collapse again. We knew surgery would be today or tomorrow , and there was a cancellation, and he hadn’t eaten yet today, so they scheduled him in.
They said it's a simple procedure that takes about 60-90 minutes. He could be home by Wednesday, or maybe a little later, but almost certainly by the end of the week.
I'll update you guys when the surgery is over. Send surgery~ma!
Much surgery ~ma sent. And calm~ma for you.
Jury duty update was that he was called to a courtroom an hour and a half ago, so he is a) going to be dismissed b) going to the pokey or c) being seated. We shall see. He is going to be complaining for a week.
Surgery~ma galore! I'm glad they can get right to it, so hopefully he will be breathing like a boss asap
Oh Teppy, I'm so sorry. I know he'll be ok, but its so hard until he is!
Sending all the surgery ~ma Tim's way.
my boss’s last day is this Friday, do I don’t know what I’m going back to.
I can sympathize! My department has had so many sudden departures over the part month the org chart basically looks like swiss cheese. (And the gossip mill is running at FULL capacity...nobody knows the full story so the conspiracy theories are WILD)
Go Tim's doctors! Staple that lung!
Glad they were able to get him into surgery quickly! Hope it all goes smoothly!
Best wishes for Tim and you, Tep.
