Cardiology, not meteorology, postponed Dan's hip surgery scheduled at Abbott/Northwestern today. In an abundance of caution, we opted to look into some additional heart issues to increase the certitude of success in this elective procedure we so desire.
A predicted eight-inch snowfall today did not play into the decision-making (Dan lives in the same complex as the hospital and could stroll to the surgical suite). However, the postponement did provide some stress relief to the support team located out in the burbs. Now they can watch the storm blow in from their armchairs.
Thanks for your continued interest and support for Dan. He's disappointed, but vows to press on.
