Hello Flickr Friends.
We met with RA's Doctor/Surgeon yesterday evening.
Her CT-scan was not good so she will stay in the hospital until she has surgery. The earliest that could be is next Tuesday but could be much longer. The infection has to be under control before the surgery.
The surgery can go two routes but they wont know which until they get in there. The best option is they will just be able to cut the inflamed section out and reattach. And then just heal as a normal surgery. The second is they will cut the section out, attach the upper section to a colostomy. In 3 to 6 months they go back in and re-attach the two sections. Then normal healing after surgery.
Stopped in the hospital about 5:30 this morning to drop some things off she wanted/needed. She was wide awake. Was in a bit of pain but overall she said she didn't feel real bad and had a good night.
I then met a Flickr friend for a couple hours of shooting. Didn't get her anything out of this world but did get Rednecked Grebes with tiny baby's riding on there backs and feeding, Bonaparts gull, OC Warbler, Savannah and Lincolns Sparrows, magpie, Sandhill crane. The light was just crap so I hope she got some keepers. My friends long glass was 420 mm so I set her up with the 500 and 1.4x so 700 mm. Hope that didn't cost her a lot of money. ;))
I have not been sleeping well so I came home and ate a bite and napped for a couple hours.
Time to go see how RA is doing.
Will catch your photo streams as I can.
