8:45 a.m. - A few moments before Tim's surgery begins, Patsy nervously inches towards her husband in the hallway outside the operating room.

This was a very awkward moment and I wasn't sure about including it in the package. I decided to keep it in because it showed the uncertainty of what Tim was about to do and something of Patsy's fear. Though they didn't talk about it much, there were a number of dangers to the procedure: the possibility of stroke or visual impairment, not to mention the fact that some patients don't respond to the treatment and actually get worse.
