Rode in with HS. Left the Lab on the 10 AM shuttle for Dr. Thoma’s office & Brooks Hospital for the operation on my jaw. See other diary for details.

Was awakened at 0545 for a shot & about 0715 & told to wash, which I did. No breakfast, & no fluid is allowed. Given a sedative at about 0845 and was in the operating room at 1045. Operation took about 3 hours. Dr. Thoma was unable to put the condyle into place as the joint surface was gone. I was given a pint of blood. They also gave me glucose. LCH was in at 5:45 PM and I recognized her.

Operated on at 1045 — starting time — at Brooks Hospital, Brookline. Operation 3 hours long — came to about 6 PM.
