- My cousin's husband came home from Iraq. He had been gone for the past year..... I know he was sure excited to reunited with his family. And, just in time for Christmas.
- My Papa had to have emergency quadruple bypass surgery on Tuesday. My mom has been in Chicago helping take care of him while he has been in the hospital. He is on the road to recovery and he may even get to go home within the next day or two. Thank goodness she was able to fly up there and be with him.
- I had my gallbladder removed on Thursday. The surgery went well, and the surgeon said that I had HUNDREDS of gallstones. Yuck. With that many stones in my abdomen, I am surprised you could not hear me coming. I spent one night in the hospital and was able to come home yesterday. I am really trying to take it easy so I can recover quickly. The hardest part has been not lifting or picking up Miss A. My dad and Mr. have been taking care of Miss A and me, and I know my mom is ready to get back in town so she can also help out. One cool thing about spending the night in the hospital (besides the morphine and Italian ice) were the movies that were available. The TV's had an InDemand type movie setup, so instead of watching bad daytime TV, I was able to watch It's Complicated, Leap Year and Letters to Juliet. Not too shabby.
- And, to end on a much lighter note.... did you know that phones and tile floors do not agree? Miss A tossed my phone over the upstairs railing and it died a tragic death in our entryway. My new phone is basically inside a bullet proof case that should be able to handle dogs and toddlers.
3 Additional Thoughts:
Ben found out, for the second time, that tile floors and phones don't mix. Luckily, he's super smartypants and replaced the screen himself. I suggested a bullet proof case. Or living a life in a bubble.
my dog knocked my iphone out of my hand and on to the sidewalk on Thursday... it suffered a similar fate as yours, although not quite as bad.
I almost kicked her.
Glad your surgery went well... hope your recovery is quick!
Really, hospitals aren't her "thing? Are they anyones??? (Well besides me b/c I work at one). Yowzers, thank God for your mom!!
Hope you are feeling okay tonight. Give Miss A lots and lots of squeezes- you'll be able to pick her up by Christmas Eve!!!
