The Surgery Has Begun

The anestesiologists wheeled him in a few minutes ago, with an IV cocktail.

They were cagey about how long it will take.

We told them the surgeon had said six hours, and they seemed to suggest that it might be shorter and that the surgeon was just being cautious. But then they said it might be longer.

I guess no one really knows.

My parents and I are in the cafeteria eating some cookies that my mother baked.
