Waiting

So right now I've been sitting here what seems days, its only been four hours. G has gone for her surgery on her heart. It was supposed to start around six in the morning but an emergency came in around 3 AM that held up ours for a couple of hours. We all are semi sitting in a large waiting room on those low legged couches, I'm thinking for those that want to sleep they can. I cant sleep at home much less here. Since they are so low to the ground and our legs so long its not very comfortable.
Sitting here in a daze wondering what in store for us next, four hours is a long time sitting and wondering and not knowing.
Sometimes I get aggravated with all the chatter going on around me, I want quiet as if I could possibly hear seven floors down to know whats going on in the operating room. Every few minutes a cart is rolled past and all heads turn. Its nothing but stress and waiting in the room some people just like to talk to pass the time. Lori is trying to read a book and snuggle up to PG.
Jacks, bless him has had nothing but the fun task of waiting after he heard there was to be a surgery he drove straight in and took in camping, his duty was to entertain Lori so they rode the trams, anything to pass the time. I don't know how he withstood it the first five days waiting for a phone calls it was bad enough one day they are doing nothing but a catheter the next they wanted to do balloon and stints and the following its major heart surgery of a bypass and valve reconstruction. Sure it's my grandparent but it's not like she's some old person we never knew, she is and always will be a big part of our lives. I want my kids to know her and to see how wonderful of a person she is. The magic she had with scrapes and bumps and settling battles. She has so much wisdom to share......
