shellylh Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 While the hubby and I are saving all our shower water and water from dishwashing to flush our toilets, others are not being so smart - on the way to work this morning, I saw a guy watering his concrete driveway. I should have pulled over and given him a piece of my mind. Selfish people make me angry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I remembered something funny... thought you guys would enjoy it. When I woke up from amnesia (errrr... anesthesia), when I finally came to I realize it was about 3 hours post-op. I noticed restraints had been used. I don't remember that part, but I asked about it. Chick said they had used them on me. I apologized to her, and said I was an "ad guy", didn't expect to behave that way. I then remembered a little deeper... I thought I was a character on "Mad Men" **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aardvark baguette Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 They let us back in. That was pretty interesting. The crappy portable walls were signing. Someone in the crowd said it was a 5.8 or a 6.0 based out of Virginia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archosman Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Had to take my Brother-In-Law for a colonoscopy. Everything went well, no problems and the doc said everything was fine. He sounds a little squishy when he sets down for the moment. At least we drove his car... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MexicanDragon Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Post-surgery update: I've been home a couple days, some good, some bad. Right now, though, just had my bandage removed. I'm nauseous at the site of the work. I have a picture or two, but seriously, made me sick to look at. I'm getting around a little sans-walker, but oft times having it at arm's-length just in case. My balance is decent, and I was able to take a shower on my own from beginning to end yesterday, but it took a lot out of me. I'm making quite a few trips up and down the hall daily, probably a couple hundred feet at a time. I try to push +1 from yesterday, or the time before, but not overexert too much, as I don't mind pushing limits, but exceeding them could be detrimental. I appreciate the calls, thoughts, well-wishes and visits. **BRENT** Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvdunhill Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 (edited) No, he means he peed on his driveway. no i watered it. with a hose (see what I did there?). it's a Texas thing. Edited August 23, 2011 by luvdunhill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blessingx Posted August 24, 2011 Report Share Posted August 24, 2011 (edited) Prepare to become a giant ball of goo when you meet your daughter. Hell, I was a mess last night just reading other dads birthing stories. Can't even imagine the real deal. Funny, I went from expecting a girl (measurement label), to a boy (extra limb/probably cord), back to a girl (money shot) in about six minutes. Strange how the mind creates paths through the future in such a short time. Weird the different directions. I have to watch that.
