Tomorrow morning Eric is scheduled for hip surgery.  You can look at this post to see what got us to this point.  Eric seems pretty indifferent about the whole thing.  I'm thinking he doesn't remember the pain involved with his first surgery.  I, on the other hand, am terribly anxious.  Please pray that the surgeon is able to remove the metal and cement successfully.  I think that's really the biggest concern, other than the small chance that what we believe to be bone death is not that at all.

Another seemingly silly thing that I'm anxious about is that while I'm in the waiting room, Maddie will be on the road to Austin with my mom to pick up Rachel from the airport.  Maddie has never traveled out of town without me and I'm sure she'll be fine, but I know I'll be nervous.

Assuming all goes as planned with the surgery, we should be settled back at home by Saturday and I'll update on how everything went at that point.  In the meantime, I sure hope I can manage to find a comfortable way to sleep on a hospital couch for two nights!
