Mom and dad arrived safely back at Mayo yesterday (Sunday 1-17-10). It was a long day of travel, but we are thankful they arrived safely. Mom stated that they made it without a hitch, but added that after five trips they would not be admitting if they made a wrong turn because it should be expected that they know their way by now. HA! Mom's spirits were very high this morning after meeting with her new surgeon. Not only did she feel that he was very competent, but added that he is also young and handsome. He will definately be operating tomorrow morning. Dr. Dowdy feels that he can use the less invasive proceedure to perform her complete hysterectomy, but stated that she will have a minimum of a six week recovery time. Mom will check into the Methodist Hospitial tomorrow morning. If things go well, they can start home Thursday. The complete pathology report will take awhile as they use the same proceedure as the two previous times to examine the tissue. Dr. Dowdy was very reassuring that mom will have a great outcome. Dad feels confident that he has the hospitial routine down pat.........they are both looking forward to having this proceedure behind them. Please continue to keep them in your prayers! We thank and love you all. I'll update you tomorrow.
