Alright, don't get too excited. Steve had his bulging disc fixed in surgery yesterday. What did you think I meant? He is doing great. Sitting around a hospital all day although entertaining sure makes you thankful for your health. I made up names for the characters in the waiting room. There was the loud mouth PTA mom who could answer every surgical question you might have. She even instructed her daughter with the correct phrasing to use when answering the waiting room phone. This lady was accomanied by her posse family who had all been there since 5:30 am. One of the offspring was at the courtesy computer communicating with her facebook friends, grandma was knitting in the corner and the bored teens were back and forth to the vending machine for sustenance to make it through the wait. PTA mom was showing all new comers how to read the surgical board and who to call to check on patients. Meanwhile the dejected senior volunteer sat by looking as if she had been cut from the team. Then there was the loud cell phone talker guy who was calling everyone he knew to update them on the progress of his wife's surgical procedure, while also inadvertently informing the whole waiting room and anyone who might be in the hall. Then there was the senior coffee clutch in the corner comparing crochet stitches on various projects and talking about the culinary offerings in the cafeteria. All in all a very entertaining place!
