Somebody Please Cheer Me Up

Well... my son and DIL just announced to the world that Baby #2 is on the way. They waited quite a while to make it public, because they have lost babies, but now everything looks pretty good. If DIL had to go into the hospital she'd be missing Baby #1, their two-year-old, the way you're missing your almost-two-year-old.

But, again, be thankful that your girl's receiving loving care while you're there. Not every baby has that privilege. You didn't want to be apart from her, but you're getting good care, you're off pain meds, the yucky head and stomach are being nicer to you, and you know some of the things you DON'T have.

I hope you'll be on the receiving end of some good care once you get home, too. It doesn't sound as if you can just bounce back once you're through your front door.

You're being a good mama for suffering on your own so that your little one won't suffer with - whatever it is.

If I lived in your neighborhood I'd be bringing you books! I don't know what Kindle has. Can you call somebody to bring you some real books? Last time I was hospitalized (with a fracture), I had books at home that I was working my way through, but for the hospital I wanted nothing but fluff! And my children came up with some for me - kids' books and very old British mysteries. It gave my brain a little vacation from the medical setting for a while.

Praying for you, yes!

Well Troy and I just had a romantic dinner, couldn't wait to get home because my younger two are with their dad........and my 23 year old is taking squatters rights on my washer and dryer. :(

He finally leaving...

Troy is snoring....

Romance is dead.....

Sorry, just trying to make this turn of events seem funny cause I am ready to kick his butt!!!

LAST Friday, the Bank made a mistake on our daughter's checking account (she is out of state at college).

So today, I went in to get it all straightened out. For about 1 minute.. they accidentally transferred 38 MILLION dollars into her account! Instead of crediting her the $38. fee for the mistake they had made..
I tried to get them to just leave it in there and pretend they had not noticed, but they said they could not do that.... Darn... so close.

I went to my friends house and we were dreaming of what we would do with 38 million dollars.. We decided we would be very generous.

I was in the hospital for an entire week when my sons were one and two. I was still nursing the one year old. They said I had toxic shock syndrome, it was in it's hayday in the early 80's and since they couldnt figure out what was wrong with me they decided it was that.
Just keep thinking of all the catching up you have to do when you get home and be thankful you have a husband watching things for you.
If you spent any time today reading all of our crazy posts and our new fascination with adding symbols to our names you should have been somewhat slightly entertained ;)
I praying for Godspeed on your recovery.
It's 3:30am here right now, don't know why I'm awake :(
I know you can't get any rest in the hospital, it's so noisy in there at night, all the more reason to get well and GET OUT of there!!

Okay to try to cheer you:

Make sure your gown is closed so when you get out of bed to pee so you
don't give the doctors a show (remember this is to make you laugh) :)

Toot quietly. They can hear e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g in those echo-y rooms.

Envision the next doctor or nurse that walks in in their underwear(from the
Brady Bunch when we were kids). Hey, worth a laugh.

Beans, beans. The magical fruit. The more you eat, the more you toot.

Turn the comedy channel on your TV in the room if you get that channel.

Your daughter is just fine w/dad! He loves her & this is good time
together.

You will be home soon AND you will be fine! I am thinking good thoughts
and praying for you!

For some reason earlier this week/late last week, every time I set up the coffee for the AM (it's on a timer), the grounds would get in the coffee and we'd have to re-filter our coffee. Yesterday, DH said the coffee was great, but he went in the freezer and put some grounds in his cup because it didn't seem right otherwise.

(He was kidding about adding the grounds, but his dead-pan delivery was hilarious at 6 AM.)

Well, I ate a lame candy bar today. It's called Hershey's Air Delight, and if you'd like to pay full price for a candy bar that's basically empty inside, go ahead and try one! It won't cheer you up, though...it bummed me out. I figured it would be that way, too...but I gave the candy bar the benefit of the doubt. LAST TIME.

Awww I wish I had something to cheer you up! I can't think of anything funny right now. Wish I had an embarrassing story for you!

At any rate, I just wanted to say that I feel for you... I can't imagine stuck in the hospital with nothing to do and missing your baby!!! Pray that you go home SOON!! Keep us posted. Keep your head held high and BEST WISHES! :-)
