Just a simple sketch from the hospital waiting area yesterday, as Bill had an echocardiogram. The upholstery is really ugly but the view from the oversized windows is lush and green, and there was a guy playing guitar and quietly singing folk songs. Hospitals in Texas often invited various musicians to perform in their lobbies. Our son-in-law Michael, who teaches band, often takes his jazz band to perform in Houston hospitals — the swing music of the 1940s is especially popular.
Bill’s test results were good, so now we wait for the heart surgeon to set up an appointment. It looks like he will be going through another bypass to repair the one that failed.
Praying for a good outcome and recovery with Bill’s bypass surgery!

Excellent words for today — thanks!

So glad the test results were good and I'll pray for the doctor to call soon.
ReplyDeleteHe phoned this morning; now waiting to see if he can squeeze Bill in later today or tomorrow morning. Very in-demand surgeon, working out of all three College Station hospitals.
