Poor Daddy... - March 24, 2008
I'm home in upstate New York.
It wasn't a planned trip, that's for sure. My mother called me Friday afternoon (I was at a bar drinking...hey, it was noon on Good Friday, what else should I have been doing?) to tell me that my dad was back in the hospital. He's been in and out of the hospital for the past 6 weeks and it hasn't been easy dealing with it because he's always been so strong and healthy. Plus, he's my daddy and nothing can ever happen to him. It just can't.
So when I found out on Saturday evening that he was going to have to have emergency surgery early this week, I went to sleep, woke up early, emailed my boss, hopped in my car, and drove 8 hours to be here.
The surgery was successful, and he's going to be fine, but it has been stressful as hell and exhausting (although, I'm sure it's been worse for him). I've been on nurse duty (Nurs Murf wasn't available), and if I do say so myself, I'm damn good at taking care of people. I'll just add that to the list of all the things I'm fabulous at.
BTW... Dad's surgeon was HOT! When he left my Dad's room after talking to us pre-surgery, I turned to my Dad and said, "I'm SO washing my hair tomorrow."

Last year was a really bad year for my family with my dad going into surgery TWICE and my sister had surgery FOUR months later. My dad's second surgery was done by a former body builder turned surgeon who was jacked. My dad was in a lot of pain right after his surgery but even he was able to appreciate the beautifulness that was the doctor we refer to as MUSCLES.
My sister's surgeron was this adorable looking Greek American with eyes that will dig into your soul. She was really nervous about the procedure and turned to the OR nurse in pre-surgical and asked if she was going to be okay. The nurse looked at her chart saw her doctor's name and told her to just look at his beautiful blue eyes. We refer to him as BLUE EYES.
All procedures went well and all I can say is that pretty doctors are the best!!

I used to work with this GORGEOUS OBGYN. All the nurses on the floor would fight to have his patients because we knew we'd get to see/talk to him.
He was also my best friend's OB when she had her baby last year. She said she made sure to shave her legs for every visit.
