Time Standing Still...

It's 11:00am Thursday morning we are still waiting.
The doctors are ready for Dad in Albuquerque...but they still don't have a room available. The coordinator told me as soon as a room is open they will air lift Dad at that moment. He is doing really good - everything is stable.
We are ready to go and get done whatever is going to be done!
If they don't have a room available by 3:00pm then we have to wait until the next day. Dad says this is how he remembers being in the Army - hurry up and wait.
BTW
Many people have been asking why we have to go to Albuquerque to have this done. The doctors told me that each VA Hospital specializes in a certain area...like Amarillo specializes in urology & prostate treatments, Albuquerque is the heart, & Oklahoma City is ear, nose & throat.
