Surgery update

Well Brian is doing pretty good. He kinda had a bad morning right before surgery. We got there at 7:20 and the receptionist forgot about him after he registered. Brian thought that he was going to have to reschedule his surgery. The nurse that was putting the IV in tried 7 times and collapsed his veins. Finally the anesthesiologist came over and had to put it in his wrist. Then during surgery he woke up and felt a lot of pain so they had to give him a nerve block in his leg. When my dad and I finally got to go in and see him he said that it was the worst experience he has had. He did have a pretty good night his first night home though. He feels better than he expected so that is great!

My bestest Sunday friend! I saw your blog through Krista and Bart's. I talked with your mom a while ago and she told me about your husband needing surgery. I had double knee surgery a couple months back, so I feel for him. I hope he heals quickly and feels better than before really soon.

Okay so I'm a loser who checked my blog already, so what you are!! I didnt read the post I'm assuming you tore your A.C.L. again? Sorry I dread ever doing that again. So quit doing it! My husband is more than a fan he is in love with the buckeyes. Obsessed. Its kind of annoying, but we will be coming to Ohio. We DONT want to hang out with yall. Lets hang out! I dont know when yet, but I'll get back to you. I'm glad Joey is ripped cause I remember when he was anorexic. Sorry this comment is so long.
