It is approximately 2:30 PST and I am told Darlene was wheeled into recovery at 3:30 EST. Even though her surgery time was set for 7:30 a.m., apparently there were several ahead of her and she was the "WLS of the day". She will be heading to her room which is undetermined as yet. I questioned the nurse about Darlene's general condition, etc. The nurse told me it went well and Darlene is doing okay with the pain. Naturally, I will not try to contact her before tomorrow but wanted to let you all know all is well with her; so we just have to keep her in our thoughts and prayers for a speedy recovery. I believe she also had her gallbladder removed which adds a bit of extra time to the healing process but well worth it.
Thanks to all who have posted well wishes and I will try to get her "card" to her in the next few days.
