It is almost 10:00 Monday night and if you know me, you know that my brain and body both shut down well before now on most nights! Want to know why I am still up? Well, the morning dawned bright and clear at 6:00 with getting the girls up and out the door. Then Dave and I headed off to the hospital for a "quick" outpatient surgery! Yea right!! The very short version is that he is spending the night after determining that he and anesthesia do NOT like each other very well at all! The surgery itself was successful but then he was very dizzy and very nauseated which of course his wife was very unhappy about!!!! (Thanks for telling everyone, Mom!!! HeeHee!!!) Anyway, they finally decided around 5:00 to find him a more permanent location other than the recovery room in outpatient surgery so they located him a room on the third floor. It just took them another 3 hours to figure out how to work the elevator and the gurney!!!!!! So - I left him around 9:15 in the capable hands of nurses who were cracking up at his jokes and came home to get some rest before heading back early in the morning!
I don't have a lot of time for I really am quite tired but I must tell you about my day Sunday! Of course, this will be the short and sweetened condensed version! The day started off in a grand way when I realized that I was able to wear a dress to church that I have not worn in over 2 years! That was so very cool! Then we were sitting in the living room after dinner watching a movie on the computer when an IM message from yahoo popped up. It was David, Jr and so we were all pretty excited about that! THEN....... I clicked on a button and what to my wondering eyes did appear but HIS FACE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He has a webcam on his computer now and I screamed and freaked out the rest of the family!! We unplugged the internet from the big computer and plugged into the laptop and so he was able to see us! We were so excited!!!!!!!!!!!! So that is my news and with that I am off!! See ya!!

That is really neat!! Sorry about Dave and the surgery/anesthesia :(
Hope Dave is feeling better by now! And don't you just love modern technology?? Well, most of the time, anyway? So glad you could "see" David! Congrats on the weight loss...I know how exciting that can be, getting into those clothes you haven't been able to wear!!!!! Good Job!
That is very cool that you can now see Dave Jr. I am sure that it will make you seem a little closer to him, even though he is a long way away! Very cool!
What an awesome Sunday! Just yesterday my sister and I were talking about how "small" the internet has made the world. She was online in Colombia S America simultaneously chatting with son in Japan, daughter in Florida and dau-in-law in Maine. When it's impossible to "be there," internet is so great!
...and what a crummy Monday! There's a reason it's TGIF instead of TGIM! Hopefully recovery will be a snap and he will be back on his feet real soon. (Didn't I read an earlier blog that he has to hit the ground running?)
How awesome that you got to see your boy!
So sorry about Dave but really neat that you got to see David!!
