SB's surgery has been scheduled for Oct. 31. That's his favorite day of the year. This has to be an omen that everything will turn out fine.
He said the surgery should take about 9 hours from start to finish. He'll be in ICU for a few days and in the hospital for a total of about 2 weeks.
Do you think the hospital staff would mind if we sorta created a special hospital gown for him? We were thinking about a Halloween gown...of sorts. I know he won't be able to wear it during surgery because of sterilization stuff. We were thinking that after he wakes up from surgery, they could put it on him. You know, kind of a Happy Halloween treat. 'Cept we're gonna trick him.
We were thinking about a backless purple gown. Not really a gown, more like a giant purple bib with sleeves. I want my friend to embroider the front with "Now I know why they call it ICU!"
I think he'd love it. I sorta think he's expecting us to do something funny.
V1 told him that surgeons always want you to mark the place you're having surgery. She offered to draw a target on his ass for free. I told him that I'd write "deposit coins here" or "correct change only" above his butt. He won't have to see it and it'd brighten the surgeon's day. We were laughing so hard, I nearly lost my breath.
In other news, my sister goes to court this morning to get her divorce. I'm keeping her son with me at work. That should be interesting and fun.
Her lawyer said he'd highlighted all incosistencies in the jerk's deposition and that there sure is a lot of yellow on those pages. He thinks everything will go according to plans. I'm not so sure. I love that her lawyer is so confident but I know that his lawyer is feeling the same way. You just never know how these things will work out.
The most important thing to me is the child. The jerk made it abundantly clear that he doesn't want custody of him. He only wants "casual" visitation. In other words, if he breezes through town once in a while, he'd like to be able to stop by for a minute and see him. He doesn't want him every other weekend. He doesn't want him on holidays or during the summer. He plain doesn't want him at all.
The judge, however, may order something completely different. He/She may order standard visitation rights. We already know the jerk won't show up for anything like that.
This is going to be a long day while we "wait and see".
My kitchen should be plumbed this weekend. DIY Hubby says he has all the stuff to get it done. Then I can put KILZ on the walls and ceiling and paint. I let DIY Hubby pick out the paint because I'm so over it. He managed to pick out a nice shade of WTF bright blue. Meh.
The cabinets have been sanded and stained and are ready to be installed along with the new sink and fixtures. The beaded board is stained and ready to be installed. The moulding came primed and is ready to be cut to size and painted. The baseboards are painted and cut to size but won't go in until DIY Hubby picks out some sort of flooring. He finally nixed the idea of hardwood so we're back to square one on that.
The electrical outlets have been installed. The new hot water heater for the pantry/mud room has been installed. The new floor for the pantry/mud room has been installed. We used epoxy paint with the chips you toss around on that. (think garage floor) pee ewww. That stuff stinks.
He thinks all this stuff can be done this weekend.
yep.
