Checking in from the hospital

The waiting room in Mt. Sinai Hospital has free coffee - but no decaf. So, they give a bunch of already jittery people unfettered access to good old, thick-as-mud, Columbian Supreme. Brilliant.

It should come as no surprise that the waiting room also has free internet access. And so, here I sit, overcaffinated and nervous hands doing the jitterbug across a sticky Dell keyboard. I've already checked out all the political blogs. I've already read - but not answered - work emails. What next?

They started the procedure two hours late, which apparently is good timing around here. Sarah should be done in the next half hour. Then, it's two hours in the recovery room. From there, we'll see. The plan is to go home this afternoon.
