Woke up early in the morning and took a bath. Just hours away from wife Estelita kneecap surgery at the Redlands Community Hospital. Last night, she called friends and relatives of her scheduled operation. She called Simonie but she has not arrived from the Philippines, according to Fe at the end of the line. Now praying for the successful two-hour surgery scheduled at 10:00AM. Two days ago, Estelita, son Anib and me attended orientation of surgeries at the Joint and Spine Institute section of Redlands CH. Most of those to undergo surgeries are women, at different dates. The room was full.
November 25:
The surgery was performed by Dr. Peter Elsissy, son of Egyptian immigrants, a smiling young man, who prayed to the Father for the successful operation that would replace Estelita's kneecap with stainless steel. We had gone early to the Redlands Community Hospital along Terracina Blvd. in Redlands, at least an hour away from Menifee.
Anib and I left her at the room where he had been dressed for the operation complete with white cap. She would later on be wheeled into the surgery room. We went to the waiting room in the same floor and spent almost an hour after we had breakfast at the cafeteria at the basement. Dr. Elsissy entered the room before 10:00 AM and informed us that the surgery was done and that Estelita was doing fine.She would be taken to the recovery room at the fourth floor.
