At 2:30 p.m. today they wheeled Kathleen into the surgical suite for a carpal tunnel release operation to relieve numbness in her right hand. At 3:40 p.m. they wheeled Kathleen out the front door of the 212 Medical Center in Chaska where Stan was parked, and he drove her home.
She was a bit light-headed, they knocked her out briefly with the drug made famous by Michael Jackson and Joan Rivers, something we can't pronounce and certainly can't spell.
Her surgeon was quick and competent and gives us an excellent prognosis for a good result, confident as the operation was routine and had no surprises. So it's all good and we're grateful and look forward to a good recovery.
