My mother had been camped out in the lounge since 5am. That's when she and my dad arrived. He went off to surgery prep at 5:30am. 

At 2:45pm, Ma was told the surgeon was on the phone for her. There was no face to face visit, just a call.

The news at least was good. Operations successful, sarcoma removed, patient stable and in recovery.
