The bed in the hospital room at Zale Lipshy University Hospital wasn't too bad. I'd rate it better than the chair/bed at Children's Medical Center. The pillows, though, were pretty non-existent. They really don't want you to spend too much time here, and that's fine with Bob and me. The coffee is definitely not Einstein's or Starbucks. And the food...well, I have never tasted good hospital food for patients. However, the medical care here is excellent, and that's what really matters. Bob's prostate surgery went "exceedingly well" according to his surgeon, Dr. Claus Roerborn, head urologist at UTSouthwestern Medical Center. He used the daVinci Robotic Surgery System. I told Bob he had Edward Scissorhands work on him. The surgeon controls the robot from a 3-D monitor a few steps away. It truly is amazing. According to the doctor, this system allows just minimal blood loss, a better ability to spare nerves, and a quicker recovery for the patient. Dr. Roerborn confirmed the first two, and we are waiting now to see how Bob recovers. Pain meds helped last night. (Another wonderful medical advancement!) He rested somewhat comfortably and was able to sleep. He woke up cheerful and alert this morning. I wish I could say the same for me! Bring on the coffee. We may be able to go home later today. It all depends on Bob and what he can tolerate. They want him up and walking first. Recovery from this type of surgery usually means off work for three to four weeks, which for Bob will seem like an eternity. I'm sure he'll be on the computer and the phone quite a bit from home. We will be waiting anxiously for his pathology report that will tell whether all the cancer was removed. We should know something by Friday. Again, as always, trusting God for good news.
