A very long day!

Joanne reported for surgery at 6am, entered surgery at 8am, finished at 6pm, went to recovery and got to her intensive care room at 10pm. Why so long? She has osteoporosis and the surgeon was very careful about the insertion of the screws. Why intensive care? After 10 hours of surgery he wanted her to have one on one nursing care for the first night. I just talked to the nurse (9am Tue) and she said Joanne had a good night. She'll be moved to a regular room sometime today.
I'll keep her Caring Bridge site updated so you may follow that for details. www.caringbridge.org/visit/jnegstad
