All Day, Every Day

Surgery is still ongoing, and going well. Deb, the surgical nurse from our earlier post, calls about every 60-90 minutes with an update. The bladder is out and they're beginning reconstruction of the area.

We went out to lunch, and did you know that Chili's has Happy Hour All Day, Every Day? Trink stuck to tea, but I availed myself of the House Chardonnay (Bear in mind, I do not prefer Chardonnay. But I do prefer Two for One.) They do heavy pours, in case you're ever in need of this information.

We're still sitting here, minding our own business but making friends. Rose, one of the nurses here, says "Everyone loves your dad!" and another random stranger thought I was a long-lost friend. I'm just grateful she didn't mistake me for Carnie Wilson as so often happens.

The surgery waiting room is still bustling, leading Trink to give me the title I wanted to use for this post, but she rejected, which was: "I woulda thought it'd be dead in here by now." Clearly, you can see this was better than my alternative, but she bought those drinks for me at Chili's, so I had to comply.

In closing, McDonald's has $1 drinks, so I now have a large Diet Coke, in case this was a lingering area of concern from our earlier update.

Here is the surgical board (He's 2nd on the list):

And here JSH is from Pre-Op, roughly 5:55 AM:

  1. Happy to hear it's going well!
    One said everyone loves Mr. Hollett, and I wonder if it's mutual. I mean, I can't imagine liking someone who surgically removes my ability to pee.

    That one's on me. It's a bless-your-heart-moment for Cara.

    And that surgical board is foreign to me - nothing we have here in Sweden, as far as I know. I hope people don't get cofused and start looking for arriving flights. "Paging Dr. Delta, paging Dr. Delta - you're late."

    But speaking of bladders, Lisa...how is yours after all the Diet Coke?

    Until next update!
