Quickly

Just in case I don't make it back later today. Here's my blog post and it is decidedly NOT stellar!

Dean is good. He is very tired, but looks good and will come Saturday. He's in room 315 and you can call or visit.

Thank you to everyone who has (and continues to) prayed for us, helped us, picked up kids or just called to make me feel better. Love to you all.

Surgery day

Today is surgery day (11 a.m.). Pray for Dean (and his crazed wife).  

Neil is hoping for Dad gets a hole in his chest like Iron Man. Mom is not so much hoping for that...

It's always the roomie

One of Dean's hospital roomies is an elderly gentleman who has been having very loud conversations with Arnold Schwarzenegger and singing along to the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

"What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.

What I've got you've got to get it put it in you.

"Give it away. Give it away. Give it away now..."

Overheard in the ER

Nurse: "So you are driving yourself? Is that why we aren't giving you pain medication?"

Patient in bed next to Dean: "I'm a truck driver and I'm supposed to work tonight."

Nurse: "OK."

Patient: "But if you want to dope me up, I don't really care. It's cool."
