They've Taken Her Back-Monkey Surgery

The IV only took one stick. The surgeon came in and did all the marking. Monkey met with Dr. Rhodes, the anesthesiologist, who has a good friend with the same mother-daughter name as Monkey and me. (And yes, we're all 55.)
Everyone was incredibly kind and thoughtful. Monkey is excited and ready to go.
Dr. Vega said it would be a couple hours. He'll come talk to me after it's over, then I'll get to sit with her after they've taken her vitals and all looks good in the recovery area.
I'll update you all when I hear more.
