We got the call about FIL's heart at 11 last night.
But it wasn't ready. Transplants... so conflicting. You are hoping for the best for your loved one, while someone else is losing their loved one.
Anyway. Long story short... 8:30am surgery turned into 11am surgery turned into 1:30pm surgery... they began operating at 3:15pm.
I've heard from III a few times. Everything going well... 4-6 hour surgery....
Last text I got... surgery should be another 30-60 minutes. "So far so good."
That was 80 minutes ago.
The rational part of my brain knows that when the surgery was over, the main priority is NOT to text/call me.
But I'm nervous that I haven't heard yet. I hope III calls soon. And I hope it's good news.
But. My brain always goes "worst case scenario". So I'm kind of freaking out.
I'm itching to call. But I know it's not about me. III promised to let me know. And I know he will as soon as he can. But bad news or good, there are other things that come first. Talking to the doctors. Maybe seeing his dad. Making plans for the night and tomorrow.
But I'm freaking out.
