My sister was scheduled for surgery on her elbow at 1pm.

It's now 8pm and I haven't heard from the hospital yet.

I did hear from a girlfriend of hers- she stopped at the hospital at 6 to be told she was still in surgery.

I'm worried.

1. Hang in there

My mother was scheduled for cancer surgery a few years ago and they ended up starting 5 hours late. I hope that's what's going on for your sister.

4. She fell and shattered her elbow

Several bone fragments have migrated. There's a lot to be done.

She cracked some ribs as well- don't know if they'll address that or not.

5. Try not to worry...

It could be many things. Once, my sister took a long time to come out of the anesthesia, after surgery. I swear, by the time I went through what I thought might have happened to her, it took years off my life.

Hope you get good news soon. :hug:

7. UPDATE: At ten p.m. she's home and wide awake.

They didn't even keep her over night. Not sure I like that too much.

Anyhoo, she seems to be fine.

8. That's good news.

At least she's out of surgery. :hi:

9. Seriously, she is better off at home

Hospitals are petri dishes for resistant microbes.

I am glad to hear she is out of surgery and appears to be resting fine.

10. Thanks for the update!

She's better of not being in the hospital... less chance of infection.

11. As long as they gave her good pain meds

and she and her partner are watching closely for anything that's not right, she'll be fine.
