Mom was transferred to Fairview Southdale at 3:00 today. She was supposed to see the gyn oncologist today at 3:10. It wasn't possible for us to get her there on our own. Burnsville made the arrangements and for the most part, it was a smooth transition. Once again, however, I was surprised that they were not prepared with the pain meds.
The gyn oncology surgeon came to Mom's room after she'd been there for about an hour. The good news is he seemed to really know what he was talking about, and his confidence made all of us more comfortable. Surgery is tomorrow and he said that mom will be up and walking around and eating dinner by tomorrow night. He also told us about the process, that he'll do everything he can in surgery to get all of the cancer. He said that mom will be in the hospital for anywhere from 2 - 5 days after surgery (compare this with the 30 days+ estimate given to us by the other oncologist.)
I have to say that if this doctor delivers what he told us today, he will become my favorite doctor in the whole world. I'm saying my prayers.
