Day 1052 - Get well soon, Gil!
My stepfather had his appendix out yesterday - while my mother was picking up my sister at the bus station!
Get well soon, Gilbert!
My mother said his stomach had been bothering him for a few days.
He went to the doctor. The doctor sent him to the hospital. The hospital admitted him, and didn't waste any time scheduling his surgery.
Voila! No appendix anymore!
That all happened so fast there wasn't time for a crowd of people to appear at the hospital and wait in the waiting room during his surgery.
I find that a little sad, to be 'alone' during surgery with the exception of doctors, nurses, and a million other hospital staff and patients. Poor Gilbert!
I guess you don't KNOW though - you're asleep! Aren't you? Do they knock you out when you have your appendix out? Probably so.
TTFN and Get Well, Gil!
Puppy update: my little monsters have finally opened their eyes!!! They haven't gotten brave enough to venture out of the kennel, but that will be coming all too soon. time to put them in a REAL enclosure so there aren't puppies hiding in all corners of the house! Savi loves them. She runs to the room every chance she gets and squats in front of the cage patting them and attempting to 'call' them. (making loud kissing noises and patting her leg. so funny!) She gave skully (Mamma dog) a kiss on the face yesterday. Now that Skully is upstairs with us all day, Savi has really gotten attached. She gives her all her cookies and tries to share her dinner too. Skully loves it, of course, and is just so sweet and gentle with her. Cute!!!!
