This Week...

SO.....

As many of you DON'T know, Mr. Davy had surgery this week..

He had tumor under his jaw on his right side.

Big enough that you could see it..

So...

Wednesday he went in to get the thing removed..

Before his surgery they had him go in and put on his gown, 

and also to mark (with a "YES") where the surgery should take place..

{is that a little creepy to anyone else?? }

I imagine this..

"Here's a sedated man.. Hmmm where should we cut him open?..

HOLD IT!! Right here on his neck!!"

Anyhoo..

I wanted to take a picture of his "YES" but he was feeling freaked out and wouldn't let me.. It was hilarious.. He'd done it in the mirror, so it was backwards, and also, Davy is not known for his beautiful handwriting.. so he wrote it backwards, and.. well.. it actually looked like a 2 year old had got too close to him with a pen..

So...

After his surgery (supposed to be 45-75 minutes.. took 3 hours!) (his "golf ball" sized tumor turned out to be "baseball sized") he was really antsy coming out of anesthesia.. He was very wiggly and kept pulling off his blankets and gown.. Not easy to keep him clothed!! Plus - he had a drainage tube coming out of his neck, and I was worried about him tugging on that..

Later...

After coming to and being relieved the surgery was over with he was ALL for having his picture taken.. 

::dang.. I wish I would have pushed harder for the neck-writing.. never mind, I pushed pretty hard..::

[WARNING - if you're freaked out by tubes sticking out of necks, skip the 2nd and 3rd photos]

Moved to his "overnight" room.. Yes, he had to be kept overnight.. 

To a recliner..

He thought it was heavenly..

THE TUBE.. not as bad as I thought it would be..

and his incision.. its almost 2 inches long..

THE DRAINAGE TUBE..

He told me he felt a little like Angelina Jolie..

{then, of course, I had to make fun of him and say, wouldn't it be more manly to say he felt like Billy Bob Thornton? And wasn't it the other person's blood? Not their own?.. Really, we laughed pretty hard about this!!}

EATING PUDDING..

He said, "take a picture of me eating"

so I did :)

I spent A LOT of time there at the surgery center.. 6am to 9pm..

I did take a short lunch break at 1.. And then had to be there to pick him up at 6 am the next morning..

He seems to be doing all right.. 

but laying in bed makes for a boring Father's Day..

He got a ping-pong table, 

though he won't feel like using it for quite a while..

{actually sounds EXACTLY like how I spent Mother's Day.. 

its a trend!!}

He is hoping to be able to go to work tomorrow.. We'll see.. But I may have to drive him, though he's trying to wean himself off his Lortab..

So - Happy Father's Day to my wonderful Husband!!

DAVID, I LOVE YOU!!

Also this week..

I painted my living room.. 

Its hard to tell the differences, but I loaded the pictures so here we go..

BEFORE

a peachy-cream color

not at all exciting against those chair rails..

AFTER

3 of the walls are now "Mochachino"

a brownish green

And one wall is Twig Basket

(a shade darker on the card)

Really loving them!!

Even have the room put back together!!

(that is huge for me!!)
