A little recap if you are new here, or haven’t read the last couple of posts…and I promise this is the last post containing too much information.
Well, about my surgery anyway…
So on Monday I had a couple of surgical procedures done, which resulted in an annoying complication.
In addition to being completely unfashionable, my new ball and chain is fairly uncomfortable.
And while I was not psyched for personal reasons, I was really much more concerned about how the kids were going to react. I thought they might be a little freaked out. A little scared.
But it’s true what they say…children are resilient.
Especially the younger ones.
Number 1, the 15-year-old, well, he’s a little grossed out. He’s anxious for me to get back to the doctor today. But not so much out of concern for my health…
Number 2 hasn’t really even noticed. He just asked if “I had fun at the hospital.”
Number 4 and 5 have been good little caretakers. If you follow my facbook page, then you saw the note Number 4 made for me yesterday. A good sign that one of these kids will stick around and take care of me when I’m old and in need of the pee bag again.
Number 6 is too little to understand, and he’s also in that parrot phase. “Mommy, is that your pee bag? Ooooh.” “Mommy, is that your pee bag? Ooooh.” “Mommy, is that your pee bag? Ooooh.” “Mommy, is that your pee bag? Ooooh.” “Mommy, is that your pee bag? Ooooh…..”
Keeping Number 7 from ripping it out of my body and putting it into her mouth has been the biggest challenge.
But Number 3 has had my favorite reaction.
He’s jealous.
Remember, this is the kid who peed in the corner of the basement because he didn’t want to come upstairs to use the bathroom and miss one second of the show he was watching.
So he asked if he could maybe get “one of those pee bags” for Christmas.
Yeah, sure.
You can have mine 😉
