The surgeon just came out to say that he's finished and everything went well. The new ball and socket went in as he had hoped and he expects a very good recovery. Given the weakness of the bone, Mary Anne will not be weight bearing immediately, but we will give it a couple of weeks to acclimate to the new setup. Still, her being able to toe-touch and have little or no pain will be an immense improvement.
MA is in recovery and I should get to see her in an hour and a half or so.
It's been a long day, but the 90 minute surgery is a vast improvement over the 11 hours in the surgical waiting room for TGP's heart surgery a few years ago. I did get out and get some lunch an hour ago.
We should get a good night's sleep tonight - the first in quite a while.
Thanks to all for the prayers and concern.
