We just left Sue as they wheeled her to the operating room. We got to the hospital at 5 and they took her back to get her ready. We were a bit surprised because they had done the paravertebral block which is a spinal pain control system. We were originally told that it would be done once she was in the OR, but they did it early. We all met the doctor as he came to see Sue and he again gave us a run down about what he is expecting throughout the day. He will be coming out to see us once the pancreas is out in about 4 hours. For now she is in the OR going to sleep and then they get her ready for the operation.
