I was just thinking of all of the funny stories that we have had during our little journey and one stuck in my mind today imparticular. Anesthesia makes people do weird things and I was no exception. I have had 4 minor surgeries during this affair and one of them was a biopsy of my Lymph nodes where they just clean knocked me out. Here is the dialog between my family and the nurse while I was in the recovery room.
Door opens and the nurse walks in with a big smile on her face trying not to laugh
Nurse: Everything went great with the procedure and Brian is recovering just fine in the recovery room
(A sigh of relief from Stacey and my family)
Nurse: But is Brian a bit of a talker? (she says with a smile)
Family and Stacey: Oh god yes! He will just talk to anyone.
Nurse: I thought so... Well when he woke up he made it his duty to talk to both of the patients that were in the recovery room with him. (Bigger smile from the nurse)
Stacey: Oh no... here we go...
Nurse: (Laughing) He first let the lady next to him know who was also on drugs that his name was Brian and that he would be here if she needed any help. He told all of the nurses in the recovery room to take extra special good care of this lady because she seemed nice. The lady just rolled her eyes. Then he turned to the younger boy who next to him who clearly just had his tonsales taken out and asked him if he was doing ok. The boy didn't respond for obvious throat surgery reasons but Brian asked again to check the status of one of his fellow patients. Again no response. Finally he tries one more time but to no avail. All of the nurses in the room were trying not to laugh when Brian turns to us and says with a confused look on his face"Man that kid must be a mute or something" WE LOST IT!
Stacey: Oh my God... Yep that was Brian for sure...
So in conclusion if you or someone you know was harassed by someone post surgery in the recovery room just let them know that I am sorry. Hahaha!
Status Update: I'm feeling good and working a full week this week again! Woo Hoo! It's like Woody Harrelson says from the movie Dazed and Confused: "Just got to keep on Livin' Man! L-I-V-I-N!"
Hah...I wish I could have seen you on anesthesia after your surgery, sounds like you were quite the hoot.
ReplyDeleteThat little boy was probably a Cardinal fan, so don't take being rejected by him personally.....or maybe he really was in pain after his tonsillectomy....we'll never know :)
Also, I went to the eye doctor the other day, she literally bought the "Just Try and Ruin my Day" wrist band off my wrist because she thought it was sooo cool. Sweeeet.
Go Cubs....we need some wins!
