ok, looks like I don't get to relax and sleep so I will post one of the stories I wanted to share...a couple of posts back I mentioned about how Andrew injured his "good" knee and ended up on crutches before I went in for surgery...
Now a funny story...we arrived at the hospital to check me in for surgery. I am dressed in my starry PJ pants, a tee shirt and my striped slippers because my other ones from Amanda :) were already packed in the van when they called to tell me to be at the hospital within two hours....
so being the people we are, my hubby's hobbling along on his crutches, I have my laptop strung around my chest/shoulder and he's carrying my backpack. We sit at the registration desk and immediately, they assume HE is the patient....
The volunteer at the registration desk runs off and gets a wheelchair...for HIM!? Haha!! We finish the registration process and are whisked away to the pre-op waiting area...My hubby being escorted in a wheelchair and me walking along side him :))
The volunteer gets Andrew out of the wheelchair and into a waiting area chair just as they call my name...to make it "look good" they put me in the wheelchair to transfer me to the post operative area (around a corner and through a door). Andrew had to stay in the waiting area until I was closer to prep....I felt foolish being in the wheelchair..so as soon as he stopped I hopped up like I was on fire...For some reason the nurse there thought I might be a 'feisty' one?! LOL
The rest of my hospital stay we teased my sweet dear in pain husband...nicknaming him "hop-a-long hubby"...Had to have fun with it ya know? When it came time to leave the hospital I tried to get him into a wheelchair while I walked but we decided to use the wheelchair to carry the bags and let the nurse push that...while we hopped along together into the sunset....
