Thank you all so very much for your well wishes and keeping him in your thoughts. Mike came through his surgery fine. Doc said it was worse than he thought but got it cleaned up. Mike had a complete blockage in his artery in his leg by his groin. 2 bypasses and a lot of artery cleaning and he now has a pulse in his leg! It was so wonderful to hear that. We went in a 6am and he came out of surgery at 1:30pm. I didn't get to see him until 3:30 and then for only 15 minutes before I came home. It was a very long day. I sure wish it wasn't 90 minutes to get up there. It's going to be a lonnnnnnng week. That's how long he has to stay. At least a week.
Here he is talking to his anesthesiologist:
And here talking to Doc:
He sure is looking bored or is it worry? He was pretty nervous but he didn't complain.
On the way home I stopped and got a photo of the Skyway bridge on I275. I get a thrill every time I go over it. From the top you can see for miles.
When I got home there was a package in the mailbox. Look what Melinda sent me!
Isn't it beautiful? They are nesting bags. The little one is 5 inches long. And the sweetest pincushion! Thank you sweetie. It's a precious gift.

PS Drop by my blog Carla. I tagged you ;-}
Carla, I'm so glad everything turned out good. Our friend who is here right now has had that surgery recently. Matter of fact he had three in less than a month. It has been awful. But now all seems good. And I hope for the best for your hubby.
Nice gifties Melinda sent you too.
Glad to hear this Carla, very scary thing to go through for both of you.
Carla,
First of all, glad your DH is doing well.
Love your picture of the Skyway! This one isn't bad, I drive over it often, but the old one was awful. Right after the new one opened my Dad took my 2 sons and myself over it and made the comment that with the old bridge I would be on the floor of the car crying. He didn't add that I was a child at the time. Okay, so I was 18 the last time I had gone over it, drove around through Tampa after that until the new one came along. First time I went over the bridge was in 1957 when it was two lanes and real scary!
