7:00 am: I’m writing from the Mayo St. Mary’s Hospital patient waiting room. We got here at 5:45 this morning, and by 6:45 they had Mom in her gown and checked in. Dad said he was really impressed at how the professionalism and quality of the service we’ve received here translates right down to the patient check-in procedures. They’re really efficient and courteous, and I think they’re taking good care of my mommy.
A few minutes ago, she walked down the hall with her fuzzy patient socks and nifty hospital gown. They said they will start the surgical event at 7:45. Our gang has dispersed for breakfast and coffee for now! For some fun, early morning photos of Mom pre-surgery, see the gallery!
