My Positive Panties

Today I'm gonna order up a year supply of "positive panties".  Dad went in for surgery today.  He is still in recovery but the doctor said he did really well.  He slept like a champ.   :)  I gotta tell ya, for as much as that guy has gone through he has the BEST attitude of anyone I have ever met.  My mother in law tells me that it's way easier for the patient than it is for the family.  I think she is right.  Dad had 8 screws and a plate put into his radius.  8 screws - holy o' crap!!!!   Dr. is really concerned, he doesn't want us to wait until we get to Seattle for a bone scan he wants it done Monday, Tues morning at the latest.  One of the other doctors in there said his bones were so soft they had a hard time getting the screws to stay in.  So what does that tell you...... probably the same thing it tells us.  "Oh shit, this is real, this is really happening"  How can 1 man have so much shitty luck?  My brother told me: if you have a lightning storm be sure dad is NOT outside cause he will get his for sure.  I am think I'm numb, I think my mom is ready to break at any moment, I think my brother feels helpless he can't be here and I think my dad just shakes his head and says "I don't know, I just don't know".  So I am taking every ones advice and I will put on my positive panties and I will continue to fight.  I may shed some tears quietly alone in my bathroom but I will be there for my family with love, support, smart ass comments, and time because it seems like time goes to fast!!!  For that every day question "How are you?" I will go ahead and answer that for all for us.  We are taking things day by day.
Tonight my husband, my in-laws, my kids, my mom and grandma will go to Rancho Chico's for dinner.  I may just drink my dinner tonight. :)  Poor dad will be sleeping off his surgery in the hospital.
