Pre-Surgery Visit

A few minutes before 9:30 am this morning, Daniela and I walked into the Georgetown University Hospital Surgery Center. Her appointment mainly dealt with the banalities of insurance paperwork. A nurse also took a blood sample.

I have to say.... I was impressed with the warm and cozy, and small, waiting area. The intimacy was palpable, evoking the charm of some Vermont coffeehouses. The nurses and staff were personable, attentive and friendly. A glance around the room revealed many patients and family members, and they seemed at ease. Daniela reappeared in the waiting area a few minutes after 11:00 am. Time to head back home. Seven days until surgery....
