Gillespies at the hospital.. Watch out!!

OK so I went in Monday for my back surgery. For those of you that check this, things went well. I am in pain but a much different kind and this pain is much more manageable. Anyways things as always got off to a great start when I arrived at the hospital. I thought to myself, we really have unusual luck I guess you could say. When I arrived to check in, I was going over my paperwork and they had me listed as a single male. I had to laugh when the nurse did not believe me. I said well there are few things wrong on this paper, she replied no there are not. I said yes there are, I am most definitely not a single male. I am a married woman. So we got that switched and then headed back to where they do the pre-op interviews. While we were there I got changed into my gown and everything and Garran decided that he needed to use the rest room. So he was in the restroom for a few minutes and all of a sudden the bell starts dinging for the nurse to help whom ever is in the bathroom. I almost died laughing. The nurse went to the bathroom door and knocked and asked if Garran needed some help to which he replied with a very funny NO! I was laughing so hard that the nurse had to hand me some Kleenex. We all were pretty tickled. The nurse even let out a little laugh. it was pretty funny. Anyways the surgery went really well. It only took about 50 minutes to do the actual surgery part. This was me in recovery.

I was all puffed up with pillows tucked everywhere and only somewhat comfortable. But anyways the other very funny thing but I have to admit extremely embarrassing thing that happened was that after my surgery my surgeon came around to check my strength and incision. Well the were all just fine but while he was checking my strength he was leaning over the bed I accidentally kicked him where no man really likes to be kicked. It was horrible, what was even worse was that we were the only two that had realized what had happened. So there was this awkward pause in our conversation and then we just proceeded as if nothing had happened. Oh it was embarrassing. But i got to leave today and come home. I was very happy for that. It is tuff being home because the kids do not understand that I can not hold them. But oh well. Cullan really enjoys my new breathing machine that they sent me home with. It is to keep me from getting pnemonia. Garran thought it would be funny to get a picture of me doing it, so everyone can enjoy it.
