The surgery went well yesterday for Nick.  I was there the whole time watching everything.  It is amazing that a piece of bone about the size of a cooked piece of rice could cause so much trouble!  The surgery itself lasted about an hour but it was an all morning thing with prep and then waking him up.  We will be going home today, just got the call, so will pack up and be over there at 11.  I have lots of pictures for you to see if you aren't queasy.  I found the surgery to be fascinating after I got over the initial shock of seeing him on the table.  This is an absolutely amazing facility!  More later!
