Daddy's surgery/Puff the Magic Dragon

Daddy's surgery was this morning.  His back and legs had been killing him due to herniated discs in his lower spinal region.  They cleaned out the disc material between discs 4 and 5.  He was in surgery about 2 hours and in recovery for an hour.  Immediately upon making it to his room he asked for a steak dinner.  Hospital stays equal steak cravings for him.  He already feels relief!  That's amazing!!!  I'm happy for him.  It's only half way thru 2014 and we have been through so much.  Losing Claire, two surgeries for him and my mental state has changed....a lot.  I can be fine one minute and a train wreck the next.  My Zoloft script is over.  It's back to trying to have my own brain work for me.   We will see how that works out.  Or doesn't.

We got him registered at 8 am sharp.  They took him back and said they would get me soon.  I waited, gagged down a cup of coffee that was strong enough to give a mannequin an erection, and then they brought me to his pre-surgery room.   I'm not in there ten minutes and a baby is born.  They played Puff the Magic Dragon.  Nurse says "A baby was just born".  It was a boy.  I guess they play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star when a girl is born.  I cried while the song played.

FML.....

Claire would be here right about now.  Her due date is the 27th.  I should be laying in a hospital bed, not Brandon.   Again....FML.

He is not the easiest to care for after surgery.  Can be whiny, needy, a tad bit bossy.  Love him so much though.

No period since March 25th.  Blood work proved I'm not pregnant.  Started Provera today.  I need to have a flipping period.   I'm so bloated the kids could use me as a bounce house.

All of the elevators at this hospital smell like people have been smoking marijuana in them.  I'd say it's the employees.

Sure could have used that when I heard Puff the Magic Dragon.  I would have puffed on that dragon for sure.
