Friday's updates

Mick had his venitrical procedure this morning to put a filter to block the blood clot from going to his heart.He has seen the opt. department, dermatologist 2x, cardioligist students 2x (residence too), physical therapist. and of course the procedure that was done. He had a full day.I met with the Dr. that has been caring for Mick since he came in and had a deep conversation including me telling her what I thought about them changing the dates again and all the unknowns that they have been keeping me out of the loop. I told her I understood she is in the middle of the conversation because it's all up to Dr. Abdulrauf and the Cardio but this postponing and not giving me answers is for the birds. I said a few other things and in the end she came back to tell me she relayed the message to Dr. A and Cardio would down to see Mick and have a definite answer. I guess it does pay to be blunt at times!Anyhow it was confirmed by 3 Cardio members that the surgery would in fact take place on Tuesday. Estimation with prep and surgery for both days is about 12 hrs. We shall see if Dr. A says the same thing or something different.---------------NOW..something funny and sad all rolled up in one....Mick had Wheel of Fortune on the t.v.... he was not watching it just staring at the ceiling like normally. However the answer to the puzzle was "Going to the Chapel".... which I started singing and without missing a beat Mick piped in and did the next verse... sad part is it started crying but he continued to sing with me. MOMENTS.... that will make me smile for a long time..Knowing he is still thinking about things like us although things aren't always clear.We will have so many memories when he gets out of the hospital.
