No worries. . .I know, it’s not that simple. . .but really the waiting was the hardest for me.  Once the whole process was underway it was a massive relief.  The only thing that beat it was when they brought her out and I got ot hold her hand as they wheeled her back to the room.  Within a few hours (after the anesthetic wore off) she was the same old sweetie pie she always was.. just like nothing ever happened.
