Tuesday Late Night

Hi! I just got home. It is 11:20 PM and I had to wait until I woke up a little to drive all the way home. I brought a beach chair to the hospital this time and I at least had a comfy chair to sit in while Gary and I watched his favorite shows! He is so lucky he is recouperating from surgery because I would normally grab the stinking controller and turn the channel! Gary loves to watch anything about weather (tornado and hurricane episodes in particular) and he loves to watch some show where truck drivers travel across large patches of ice??? What is up with that? I think we watched 3 episodes of Dirty Jobs and oh let's not forget Deadliest Catch! I tease him very lovingly because he puts up with a whole lot of my shows - believe me!!

He got up and walked around in his room for about 45 minutes this evening. He got a chance to wander into the bathroom to catch a glimpse of himself in the mirror. I recall himself referring to his face and body as "The Pillsbury Doughboy"!
He actually looks better tonight - not as swollen. Being in surgery and being pumped full of fluid for such a long time takes a toll. He is tired and I hope and pray he gets a good rest tonight.

I took the boys to see Gary this morning and they brought him a Build A Bear that the Muck's had taken them to make! He loved his bear and loved seeing his boys even more! They were so glad to see their Dad.

Jen and I took the boys to the beach for a few hours this afternoon and then Jen took Zach to karate. Tomorrow the Marvel's and the Muck's will take all three boys to Wild Rivers! They are super excited!!!

Thanks Angela for the Costco Run and thanks Sam for dinner! Thanks Gay for bringing over all the deli stuff and of course to everyone who has brought me RED VINES! Yum Yum Yum!!!!

If you want to send Gary some E-mail you can through the hospital. They deliver it to him every day and he loves getting them. The web address is www.ucihealth.com and click on patient and visitor information on the menu bar.
I am going to bed now!

Love to all and talk to you tomorrow!
Love, Lisa

Ice Road Truckers ROCK! Hey, if you need to Gary you can come over to my house where, Dirty Jobs, the History Channel, Discovery Channel, Future Weapons, Mythbusters, Deadliest Catch...etc, all run on a continuous loop. All fu-fu channels have been blocked. :)

Heck if we have time we can go out back and put a jet engine on the barbeque to see how fast we can get that thing going and then post the video on YouTube... :)
