Starting the Day

   We were up at 6 this morning. I only got a few hours sleep, but I'll have plenty of time to sleep after Ari gets into a room. Ari was up in time to watch one show and get dressed. We were on our way by 7. The drive wasn't  bad and we were parked by 7:40. We got checked in and waited for a while. There were a few interesting things going on. Mostly involving the families waiting in the waiting area. One even made a few under their breath comments about us not letting Ari lift some of the heavier chairs. People need to leave well enough alone. The last thing we need is for Ari's hardware to come loose any more than it already is.
   Right now we're in the pre op area. Ari is dressed and waiting for the doctors. We have a few different groups to meet with before surgery starts. We've seem Dr Ain's associate so far. Surgery is scheduled to start at 10, but we are usually done with all the prep an hour or so before. It's 20 minutes before and they are definitely not ready. Hopefully everything went well with Dr Ain's previous surgery.
   There will be some repair work this time around. A bolt came loose and needs to be fixed. This will add a little time to the surgery. I'll post here once everything gets started and we're back in the waiting area.
