...QUIT tryin' to make me pop staples. The docs don't want that to happen for at least another 2 weeks....so they told me to re-visit your comments at that time and not before....anything to make their jobs easier, eh?

Syd, I just knew a busload full of nuts was the perfect reminder of us and as a bonus, we thought the driver even looked a bit like you.

My first day home was wonderful. I slept a solid 4 hours the first night.

Unfortunately I hadn't read Lima's noodle recommendations yet and added the flavor packets to the Ramen

(3 whole servings in about 5 hours) so I had heartburn so bad last night that I didn't sleep at all. I learned my lesson though and went much easier on all flavors today so I'm hoping to maybe get 6 hours of shut eye tonight.

I am just so, SO blown away by all the love here. I'm more humbled than I ever could have imagined being and I am just in awe of my husband's strength and love for me. I can't believe what he's endured for me. I've fallen even deeper in love with him which would have seemed impossible. Thank you all so much for being here when he needed support. I feel like the most fortunate girl on the planet.

As S.A. Murray said : God bless us every one.

Merry Christmas.

A strange P.S.  11 hours of intubation straightened out my overbite by about 75%. I thought maybe I was imagining it in the hospital but John has now confirmed. I'm not telling the docs 'cause I'm sure they'll figure out a way to charge me for it if I do.

Dear Amy, wishing you glorious hours of uninterrupted, pain-free, healing sleep. :)

@ Syd- This is why I loved you right from the start. 

You get me.

I was picturing a soaking wet cat-fighting Sigourney Weaver vs. Jamie Lee Curtis like in that movie "You Again?"   Sorry, this comment has nothing to do with Blanch.  I just like cat fights between hot wet actresses.

Hope you had a great holiday!
