"Unexpectedly" Medical Surprises Edition

My Darling Wife and I, having decided the Zoo was as large as we want it since #4 is here, decided to not have any more children. She went in today to have a 12-minute surgical procedure to ensure that the Zoo gets no larger. Three hours, a CT and EKG scan and several miscellaneous drugs, as well as a stirring up of the prayer circle later, she is waiting for discharge papers. Thank God for our next door neighbor, who is a family friend as well as a girlfriend of my Darling Wife's. She stayed with her and advocated for her when it looked an awful lot like an unresponsive post-operative patient was having seizures.

She appears to have been given too much anesthesia, despite a medical history and oral warnings this morning to the medical professionals that she needs LOW doses of pain killers. So. Thank God she is apparently ok, and thanks everyone else who prayed.
