Dan's neck surgery

We were told that Dan needed to report to the hospital at 11:15am on Monday.  At about 9:30am the hospital called and said that they were running behind so call them back at 12:00pm for a new time to come.  At 12:00pm Dan called and they said to call back at 3:00pm for a new time to come.  Dan was already scheduled to have the surgery last Monday but the hospital called and cancelled that surgery.  This isn't looking very hopeful.  At about 1:15pm the hospital called and said to come at 2:00pm.  So we dropped off our kids at Cassie's house and we headed to the hospital.  We get there and sit for a while finally they call Dan back and tell us that the doctor is still behind and that they are hoping to get us back before 5:00pm.  They were right, Dan got wheeled back at 5:00pm.  His surgery went well, he had two bone spurs and the disc problem.  Dr. Winter's was able to fix it and came and got me and explained everything.  He said Dan should be ready to go to his room in an hour and I could see him then.  So I waited and waited and waited.  Apparently the hospital was running behind again and couldn't get anyone to clean his room so he stayed in recovery until they could find someone.  He is having a little problem with his heart rate being to high.  They said that it is probably because he is in so much pain.  I hate seeing Dan like this.  It is making me so nervous.  I stayed with him until he was able to eat and was feeling a little better.  I hope that this surgery will take away the pain and give Dan the comfort he has been looking for.  Oh, and Happy 14th Anniversary Dan.  Dan wanted to go away for our anniversary, so I guess he got his wish.
