Hospitals are funny places. People are different here. There’s a funny old man here wishing everyone luck as he gets wheeled off to surgery. My mom is with Katie, changing into her gown.

There was also someone in the waiting room wearing a Steelers jacket. That made me smile a bit.

I’ll update later, after everything is OK again.

UPDATE: Everything is great! My mom’s operation went perfectly and her friendly doctor said he did everything right!
Then we saw The 39 Steps on Broadway – my mom had gotten us tickets so we’d have stuff to do while in town – and it was funny!
Now we have to eat some cake before my mom gets out of the hospital. It is of the utmost importance. UTMOST!
