Surgery Day


Sitting in the waiting room, I can hear Kent in the back room retelling the staff about his basketball game that led to this injury. I hear him talking it up and then I hear the nurses laughing. Kent might pretend he hates this, but anyone that knows him- knows that he just MIGHT be getting a little satisfaction from the attention.

Joking aside, Kent is getting prepped for surgery as I type type type on my laptop. The kids are settled with friends (we are quickly becoming the most needy friends you could imagine!). This is not a high risk surgery, it doesn't even require a hospital stay, but any surgery and anesthesia can be unnerving. I look forward to this being over, as I know Kent is, and back on the road to recovery.

What???? The things Kent does for attention (: I think after this calls for a week in Thailand at the spa. I'll accompany you--all we need is Kent's credit card. Love you guys!

p.s. I wonder if this will also give him a good excuse for soaking at "bathie time"
