My wife is in surgery right now....
This is not an emergency. She's having a scheduled debridement of calcified tendonitis with a rotator cuff repair if necessary. I just left her a few minutes ago after they wheeled her off to the OR.
We're at the Baylor Surgery Center in Trophy Club.
BTW, it isn't posted. Just the ubiquitous gunbusters signs.

Re: My wife is in surgery right now....
I have been there. They will treat you both well. Prayers for her quick recovery.
And, if you are there long enough for lunch - you won't believe this - they have a GREAT café on the second floor! Not your typical hospital food. I think I had trout almondine there, or something similar.

Prayers for a good surgery and fast recovery. And I agree with Crossfire, great food at all of the Baylor Hospitals. The Heart Hospital cafeteria has one of the best bacon cheeseburgers I have ever eaten!
Yeah, I know the irony. Maybe they are just trying keep their clientèle coming back.

Re: My wife is in surgery right now....
Thanks everybody. She sailed through the surgery just fine with no complications. She was just taken to recovery. Surgery was an hour and a half. They did the debridement and got all the calcium out. Not necessary to do a rotator cuff repair. I'm just waiting for them to call me up to the recovery room to sit with her. Recuperation will be on the order of 6-8 weeks.
Her surgeon showed me the pictures he took during the surgery. Pretty interesting stuff.
