The Starbucks in on its way--my sister Jennie is bringing in the Pike Place Roast with 1/4 inch of half and half, as requested. The cookie is on the nightstand...
It has been a good afternoon. Stu took a little nap, finally, but still has his handcuffs on. He keeps the remote in his hand, and has just enough slack on the restraints to reach his "junk". He thinks this is heaven. He said he is really Bruce Banner, and all the nurses find are shreds of green clothing left on the bed. My friend Alison and I gave Stu and hand rub, and since he couldn't escape, we washed his feet and gave him a foot rub too. As we were massaging his calves, one of the male PA's came in the room behind us. Stu pulled up his jammie bottoms, and motioned with his fingers "up here". Yeah, get us in trouble! I think the surgery stimulated his sense of humor!
I'm definitely taking the wrist restraints home!

Each of life's experiences make us stronger in our love for our spouse, family, friends and co-workers. Thank you for sharing your story and encouragement. God bless you and your families.

Deb and Stu,
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing story you are sharing! Despite the restraints, the recovery sounds ahead of schedule. May the future have many bright moments for you. The prayers and love and hugs (in thought) will continue.

I love it! You're going to have some great stories out of this. So good to see you this afternoon. Thanks for keeping us updated.
ReplyDeleteStu is sooo funny!! You'll have to ask him about his Justin Timberlake impression and his "Sexy Back" dance! Pretty impressive for a guy who just had brain surgery! Had a wonderful visit late this afternoon and many laughs. Stu enjoyed his Starbucks and some chocolate chip cookies to go with his dinner. Deb continues to be strong and a wonderful support to her husband. They both are smiling!
ReplyDeleteMuch love and prayers!
