Mommie's Surgery

My mom has had her stomach moving up through her diaphragm for about a year or two now. She can't eat a lot because the food doesn't go all the way down, and she has to throw up almost everytime she eats (I know, it's gross). After all the x-rays and checkups, she was finally scheduled for surgery yesterday. Well, she had a successful surgery I'm happy to say. They gave her ketamine (special K) as an anesthesia, so she would forget what happened. Apparently, you give babies ketamine, but not old people, so I don't really know why they gave it to her. She's forgotten most of what happened. So..now that you all know that, here is the conversation between me and my two sisters and brother and dad and Ed while sitting in the waiting room. Ed and I got there at 6:30, and they had been there since 1 or so.

Brother: Ugh, Mommie looked really gross the first time we went in. I had to go throw up. She didn't see me because her eyes were closed and I didn't talk to her.
Older Sis (OS): She thought it was noon when we went in at 6. Younger sis (YS) was pulling all the tubes out of her nose.
Dad: Well, YS woke her up with all her poking and prodding. (YS is a dentist/oral surgeon)
YS: *giggle*, I was just checking her breathing and seeing how she was doing.
OS: Bro go to Subway and get daddy a sandwich.
YS: Yeah, bro.
OS: I'll go with you.
Bro: Why don't you go Peachy.
Me: I just got here. I'm not leaving the waiting room.
Ed: Wow..look at these cool motorcycle pictures. Cool.
More bickering from the peanut gallery and finally OS and Bro leave to go get Daddy a sandwich.
Me: Hey YS, look at this South African tribesman on a BMW motorcycle.
YS: Ew..no I dont want to see any motorcycles. No!
OS and Bro come back with sandwich.
Dad: Offering sandwich to everyone in the waiting room, including Ed and smiling. 'Excuse me, sir, would you like 1/2 a chicken teriyaki?' Everyone declined so my dad ate it all. He's so cute. :)

Finally we can go see my mom. She has a respirator on, but you can hear her talking just fine.

YS: Did they give you XX for your pain?
Mommie: Yeah, they gave me that and two tickets for Hairspray.
Me: Oh, do you want tickets to Hairspray? It's at the Hippodrome this season.
Mom: rolling eyes. No, I was talking to your sister.
Me: Oh, giggle giggle. So, how long do you have to stay here?
Daddy: I think until Sunday.
Mommie: I have to pee.
OS: So, what do you do?
Me and OS: Laughing
YS: Just go, you have a catheter.
Mom: I'm not going pee in front of you guys.
Me: Hey! It's dripping. You're already going. HA!!HA!!
ALL: Laughter

Well, you get the idea. My brother was really not handling it well. None of us are every really sick and certainly don't have to stay in the hospital, so this was a new experience for him and he just felt nauseous. He'll be ok and thankfully, so will my mom.
