As you can see by the shocked expressions on the faces of Not Dr. McDreamy's colleagues, our theatre date is still on tomorrow. And as I'm trying to cram a couple of weeks work into today, I'll say my goodbyes now. I take with me on our date, the wonderfully warm wishes of support from all of you - there are indeed very precious.
I did however, remind Not Dr. McDreamy yesterday that the last time I had a general anaesthetic was in 1982. I woke up from it to find the big brown eyes of newly-delivered Son # 4 staring intently at me through the clear wall of his isolette. A nurse had kindly wheeled him over to the side of my bed in Recovery for an introduction to the woman who was going to be his mother for the next 60 years or so. However, I do not want that experience this time!!
However, as it's Family Practical Joke month here, I can almost see the boys now, trawling the wards looking for a baby to 'borrow', sneaking in & putting the said baby by my Recovery gurney & waiting for my reaction on waking this time! Interestingly, it is the above baby who was the instigator of MOTH's Russian Bride saga last week. He's all grown now, but is still 'bending' the rules (as seen in the next pic there was a box of McFries being quietly 'donated' to that chookie). He's not in town this week, but I'm sure he's left all the necessary 'instructions' for his siblings. Those boys & MOTH will stop at nothing in their bid to win the FPJ Perpetual Trophy, even if it's at the expense of their poor, indisposed mother & wife!
Patricia from pve was quite right in her comment that I was keeping a stiff upper lip. Well, that lip's quavering just a little bit today. I just want Not Dr. McDreamy to weave his magic & to feel (& look) better again. He's the best & I know he'll do everything he can to return Miss Millie back to centre stage. See you all soon, & I cross my heart & promise, I'll spare you the in-depth details of what transpired on my hot date!
Millie, best advice I ever received and I like to pass it on. BE gentle with yourself.
ReplyDeleteSince Dr Not McDreamy is not apparertnly endowed with physiogomy that would require much mirror time, then surely he can be focused and detailed for what you need.
Prayers, positive thoughts, good vibes in all manner and form are headed your way. SURELY MOTH and the boys will skip FPJ month just this once or delay it maybe by a few weeks.
We will miss you. Hope MOTH knows how to get in here to report.
Gentle hugs, best wishes and adieu...

Jane, lovely advice as always, thanks so much. The boys wouldn't ever think of skipping FPJ month, it's not just a matter of life or death, it's far more serious than that!
ReplyDeleteFare well dearest Millie - my thoughts will be with you tomorrow when you're having your date with Not Dr McDreamy. Take care, Lee xx
ReplyDeletemillie, i'll be sending prayers and healing thoughts your way from seattle. take care. pam
ReplyDeleteMillie,
ReplyDeleteWishing you the most positive thoughts- the best...
One of my all time favorite quotes is from the late and wonderful Bob Marley,

Millie, I agree with Jane, thank goodness Dr Not McDreamy is humble in the looks department - imagine how much time he had free to study instead of going out on dates when he was studying medicine? Leave the looks to MOTH. Will be praying for you to have a calm, peaceful heart over the next few days. Thinking of you. Meredith xo.
ReplyDeletep.s. how big was son #4?! No wonder you needed a general:)
Lovely Lee, Pam, Karen, Heides, Joan, Michelle, Viera - you are all so gorgeous each of you for your beautiful messages, especially that certain someone who channelled the late, great Bob Marley for me. xx
ReplyDeleteSweet Meredith, thank you for your precious message, especially the calm, peaceful heart wish. Yes, Son #4 was exactly as all his brothers, delivered built like a mini Sumo wrestler. Born at 36 weeks he tipped the scales @ 9lb. 14oz., but holds the record as the smallest of my babies - all the others were over 10lbs. - OUCH! I lied to my Obstetrician about my dates, otherwise he would have been 12lbs+.!!
ReplyDeleteHello Millie,
ReplyDeleteAll the best for tomorrow, hope that it goes well.

ReplyDeleteLove to you.
Oh my goodness, i have been absent, out of the loop & fell of the bandwagon! I am in a panic over you! Ok, ok, by now you are in recovery, the good Lord has watched over every move that the good doctor has made & everything is going to be alright!
ReplyDeleteI pray along with so many others that you are resting well, recovering & all your guys are relieved to know that mom will be on the mend soon.
