Sue:

Rest assured, that if I had to go UP ANY KIND OF STAIRS to put this man to bed, this man wouldn't go to bed!!! He'd sleep on the sofa. My whole apartment is on one floor.

As a matter of fact, I just asked him "Can you sleep on the sofa tonight? and he said "why would I want to do that?" and I said "because I want to go to bed and you are heavy". Then he said "I can get myself to bed".

He couldn't get up one step on my porch and yet, he can get himself to bed??

I think not!!!!

At least I made him some brownies tonight.

You all should have been there when the nurse came and got him and he had the operation. When all was over I had to wait all those hours until they allowed visits in the recovery room.

So there I was with about 40 other people and I call the doctor's office to arrange the follow up visit. Because I didn't have an pencil or paper with me, I just took out My Lil Reminder thingee and recorded the date and time of the next appointment.

Well, you should have seen all the people in the waiting room going "Oh my god, where did you get that thing?? I said "are you kidding, it's one of those "as seen on tv gadgets, haven't you seen this and the PEDEGG"?? whereupon a woman jumps up out of her chair and goes "Oh, I have the PEDEGG, isn't it adorable?? and I said "yeah, but I really love the ONE TOUCH CAN OPENER, because it walks around my cans".

With that, a whole bunch of us got together and started comparing AS SEEN ON TV PRODUCTS. One had the chopper, another had the Long Grab it thingee.

One person asked me 'do you have the Lightbulbs that you stick on the wall? and I said "if it has been on an infomercial I have it". I never laughed so hard in all my life. It was the best 2 hours of time spent in a waiting room. We were all in the same boat waiting for someone somewhere in the hospital and we had to wait until the recovery visiting hours were coming up, so that meant, either sitting for 2 hours and not saying a word, or just have a great gab fest.

Guess who started the gab fest?? They all wanted to see and hear the My Little Reminder thingee. But when I explained about the Tater Mitts, the guys got hysterical. If I thought I was the only person who liked those informercial gadgets, boy was I mistaken.

They wanted my youtube links so they could view all the gadgets. I'm telling you , I had a good time for over 2 hours. Then someone comes down and escorted many of us up to the recovery area where we saw Alan eating chocolate chip cookies and saying "did I have the operation already?"

He did great, thank god for that.

bye for now.
