My sweet big guy went into have his surgery on Monday and let's just say the amount of narcotic meds they have to give a guy his size is borderline criminal! (lol) He was tore up from the floor up! As the ladies were wheeling them out they told me to tell him a magic word to see if he would remember it when he woke up. I felt like a small child taking a pop quiz searching frantically for a magic word that would be a) Magical (duh!) and b) profound (because I love all things have meaning). However, I failed and spit out the first thing I saw.....the color purple. Ha! My big guy's magic word was purple. As we ladies just laughed ourselves silly, John's face never lost the look of complete and utter confusion! The nurse looked into john's bewildered eyes and said, " John your magic word is purple". He offered only silence. Then she says, like you would to a small 6 foot 230lb child, "Say purple!" He looks at her as if she was a stranger asking him if he would like a piece of candy that would only lure him into danger, and responds, with great difficulty, "Purple?"
Needless to say, once he was finally awake and I got to ask him if he remembered the magic word, he was completely dumbfounded and could not remember anything about it; however, he did recall me asking the doc if now (after his meds kicked in) was a good time to ask for a new car! haha!
The more John "woke" up the more comical he became. I took this pic below, at his prompting to send to the children. He was trying to cross his eyes but it didn't really work out the way he expected!
Seriously people, I was dying laughing! I'm only hoping that my excessive laughing didn't disturb all the other patients but made their "waking up" a happy memory! (lol) And I must tell you that right before this pic the nurse put him on the oxygen and he exclaims, "Gross! Oxygen freaking stinks!" And my guy doesn't think he is funny, but he so is!
