like a bipedal Long John

[sergebroom]

Sue's surgery ended much earlier than expected this morning, in fact just as one of our staff meetings was beginning, so I had to make myself scarce. Darn. I hopped into the minivan and rushed to the hospital. One hour later, we were both out of the recovery room, and managed to get Sue into the minivan without her uttering a single shriek of pain. She winced and moaned and groaned a few times, but that's pretty good considering what she had gone thru. I put her to bed and made her as comfortable as possible. At first, she needed help every time she needed to get off the bed, but more than once I caught slowly going around on crutches. The sight kind of reminded me like Long John Silver, but with both legs. I expect she'll recover quickly.

On the sad-news front… My 5-yar-old nephew isn't as interested in Superman as he used to. He has moved on to, alas, the Power Rangers.
