Well - as some of you know, my S17 had an emergency appendectomy last June. So guess what I was doing last night at midnight? Scraping my vasovagal, white as a sheet, pulse of 40 and blood pressure of 90 husband off the bathroom floor so I could spend the night in the ER with him while they diagnose HIS acute appendicitis!!!!
He came through surgery this morning fine, but will be in the hospital for a couple of days because of an ileus (bowel "stops moving" - don't worry, he will be fine). Much as i wanted nothing more that to stay by his side all day, I had to leave at noon because - guess what - my S13 is having his birthday party tonight and has invited about a 100 middle schoolers and I couldn't call it off if I tried because we could never track down all the kids he gave invites to!! Of course, I had planned to shop for it this morning - now I have to get it all ready, call some friends to help me ride herd on this bunch, call a girlfriend to go to the hospital and hold H's hand and take care of him for me - oh, and did I mention I haven't had any sleep yet???
Wish me luck - and superhuman powers
(BTW - H was very very sweet to me at the hospital today
