I just had to get this one down just 'cause I don't wanna forget this one!
I'm at Touro with my FIL for his operation at 7AM on Fri. a couple of weeks ago. So we go in a little room for pre-op with the little paper dress and all that goodness that you get when you are about to have surgery. Being the daughter-in-law, there are just some things you shouldn't see and so I stepped out the room while they did their thing. As I was standing in the hall this guy steps out of the room across the hall and we have a nice conversation about what ya in for.
Well, his wife was having the gall bladder operation and my FIL was having the hernia operation. He was concerned about how she would turn out. I said I had a (ahem) person who had hers taken out while she lived in another country. He wanted to know how it went and as tactless as I could be I said, "horrible."
I told him it would be like comparing apples and oranges, because my person barely had any pain medication which was what was so horrible. I told him that she's fine, (Other than the gas problem, that is. Which of course I didn't mention, I mean who wants to hear that right before surgery? Gee, if you think your wife farts now... Nah, couldn't scare him like that.), and that his wife will do fine and dandy.
Any ways he was really nice despite my foot in mouth comment and when I got home and gave my moment by moment run down, (as if we all didn't know I'm annoying wordy), I mention how I met this really nice man and scared the he11 out of him, but only momentarily. Suddenly Hubby says his co-worker E. was in the hospital with his wife with, you guessed it, a gall bladder surgery. So then he asked me to describe the guy and he says omg that sounds just like E.
Today, Hubby remembers our conversation and mentions it to E. and sure enough it was E! Another two weeks until his wife will be really good to go and we are all to go and have a dinner date, sans the gall bladder of course.
