House of Smiths: My Favorite Blogs
{A Little Down Time}
On Wednesday we found out that Cason would be having a little impromptu surgery. Nothing major, but a surgery all the same.
I’ve never been “put under”… HECK! I’ve never even broken a bone, or gotten stitches! But I HAVE been the support person for a few people who have been under anesthesia … and I’ve learned a couple things.
1: They are always cold
2: Some of them throw up…ehk. (lucky, not Cason. ha!)
3: Their throats are raw, and they are reeeeaaaally sleepy, for pretty much the rest of the day.
I love this guy, and I’m giving him ALL my attention.
Because I can ๐
(thanks to Cason’s Mom for taking the girls)
And because after I had my babies, and felt like crap … he got MY pain killers, woke up at 3am to hand me our baby,
(which in this case, is a less noisy, ice pack) and made sure that I always had what I needed.
I think it’s only fair to return the favor.
Plus, A day in bed, forced to watch TV with my guy, while browsing my favorite blogs…
Might just be up there, with MY top 10 most favorite days

Projects will just have to wait.
Till then… “A browsin’ ’round my favorites, we shall go!”…

I hope his recovery is quick and uneventful.
Lucky for him he has such a great nurse.
Hubs tore his bicep and is awaiting a surgery date. Thanks for the
great idea for "our" recovery! Cant wait to spend a couple days together.
Speedy recovery wishes.

when I was dating the lusty woodsman, he had a rod removed from his leg (long story short…he saved the arborvitae) and I was the lucky one who had to care for him after…he was in a drug induced swoon! told me he loved me, wanted to marry me, etc…so cute. we've been together 17 years. sigh…i hope your main squeeze heals quickly.
happy weekend!
