65 Minutes

What can you accomplish in approximately 65 minutes? In our lives: average commute to work, short church service at Hosanna!, good workout at the Health Club....and as of today, out-patient surgery for tubes.

I knew tubes were considered minor surgery, but it almost appears that surgery has become an auto-body repair shop....pull in, get your part fixed, and pull out as soon as possible. From the time we finished our registration at the hospital this afternoon for Logan, it was only about 65 minutes for the anesthesia, surgery, recovery time, mandatory purple Popsicle, and discharge. Obviously, this round of tubes was MUCH easier than the last when we combined tonsils and adenoids.

Logan did great, he took the anesthesia (cotton candy flavor) very well! Dad still has nightmares of vomiting for 2 days straight after his series of childhood tubes - grandma closer still remembers as well. After the surgery we went home, watched "Antz," then Logan was out riding his bicycle and chasing the neighbor boys around 90 minutes later.

Happy Fourth of July!
