SURGERY

woo hoo ... yesterday was surgery day !

It was nerve racking for sure. We hurried up to wait basically. The hospital even called us because we were running a bit late but then again so were they and not just a bit how about a hour.

there were several other people in the waiting pre-opp room. We all stared glazed over looking at the new about Haiti. Its terrible... and then i was feeling a tad claustrophobic and crap we are all breathing in each others carbon dioxide and ewwww..
I sometime over think over analyze and basically freak. So a man came in and I could just tell by what he was wearing that he was having surgery so, I jumped up and gave him my seat, besides i am gonna be sitting for 4 hours.

They call the wife in but tell me to STAY BACK... then what seems like a lifetime they call me back in. We just chit chatted, talked about the white light and how NOT TO GO TO IT and if she feels compelled to then don't stay long and say hello to all the loved ones we lost. Sometimes you have to just joke- it oddly made us feel better. They asked the wife the same questions over and over again she looked so helpless and cute in her hospital gown and DAMN those things are stiff as all get out. The Dr. finally came updated us on yet another delay and told us how she was starving .. umm HI, and so are we ... finally they take her in 2hrs later.

SO I waited and walked around the parking lot and got fresh air and paced text everyone the update and phoned a few friends and family. I was in a conversation about insurance with my uncle and then saw the Dr. I was surprised and it seemed like she just went in. The Dr. gave me pictures of my wife's parts her liver and ovaries and tubes... it was amazing. She said everything went well ! WOO HOO I was saying in my head....I said thank you and she went about her next surgery.

The hospital was a lil taken back that We were married and the nurse had a tough time with it but nothing outwardly malicious.

The OR nurse called and said she was just waking up and it will be about an hour before i can see her ... but it was only like 30 min if that. I went back and walked in and gave her a hug n kiss and asked tons of questions which she had no clue how to answer cuz she was out and groggy. I told her I had pictures and she was all confused and I showed her and then her eye opened wide ...an she said Ohhh!

Then another nurse helped her to the bathroom I helped her get dressed and they wheeled her to the car.

Our Drive home was funny My wife still drugged was talking nonsense and saying weird things she was insisting that i have my head lights on.

The sky was amazing on the way home it just rained so the there were clouds some dark some very yellow orange ( we call it pretty light time ) and some powdery fluff and the most beautiful rainbow it was just straight prolly the end of a rainbow but it was backwards... purple, blue, green, orange, yellow, red...

and we got home and I made soup and jello ...

and then I put her to bed and Project Baby starts again !
