Surgery day...

Hubby had his surgery this after noon to put pins in his finger. All is well and he's doing great...

IV is in and he's ready to roll

Blake wrote "yes" on the hand that needed surgery so they wouldn't do surgery on the wrong hand! (You can tell he's right handed...he had to write that with his left hand)

The pin they put in his finger was drilled in...So it sticks out of his finger. The surgeon also took his finger nail off to repair the bone and skin underneath and then stitched the nail back on. His finger will be kept in the brace and wrapped until we go for a follow up in a few weeks.

My wonderful in-laws came over tonight to keep us company. Tammy cooked an amazing dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and green beans complete with a whole plate of chocolate cookies!!!!

I remember the first time I ever tasted meatloaf was over at B's parent's house when I was 14 years old. All I had ever heard about the meat was that it was the famous "mystery meat" and everybody I knew always talked about how they didn't like it. I tried it for the first time and fell in love! It was so good! Its so easy to make and is a good change from the usual chicken or steak.

So thank you Tammy for making mine and B's fav meal!! We loved eating it in bed on our "giant TV tray."

**Side note...This "tv tray" table is actually a piece of furniture that is part of our bedroom decor. It is one of my favorite things in our room. When I was doing speech therapy, this is where all the paper work went down. I love eating on it and it makes using the computer quite luxurious! It has wheels on the bottom so you can slide it up to you at the head of the bed and slide it down to the foot of the bed. If you want one let me know. Blake had it made by a man in West TX.**
