surgery was successful!

Gary was prepared for surgery starting at 6:00 am. By the time all the preparation and then the surgery was done it was 11:00 am. Mohan, who coordinates for Dr. Bose, called to let me (Saku) know that surgery had gone well and that no complications were encountered. I was able to see Gary briefly in the recovery room, where he was definitely the most chipper amongst all the patients there! Gary was wheeled back to his room at 3:00 pm, sore but otherwise doing really well. While he encountered a little nausea all body functions returned to normal relatively quickly and by 7:00 pm he had eaten his first solid food for the day, a slice of brown bread, milk and cereal, and some papaya fruit. Nausea had receded by this time so he showed no inclination to throw it up either! All in all a successful day, although it involved much nail chewing for his family.
