another funny memory...

Oh my gosh, sitting here reminiscing about this time last year (see next post) made me think of one of the funniest things that happened on May 5, 2009.

Obviously it was a long day of waiting while I was in surgery. My sister Suzanne and our dear friend Julie were in the waiting area. It was getting later in the day. Well, apparently, at 3:00 all the nurses that cover the big desk in the family waiting area go home. Their day ends at 3:00. Literally, they turn out all the lights behind the desk area and they go home. Well, several patients are still in surgery, like me. And the surgical nurses and doctors call that front area to give updates to the families. So someone has to answer the phones. The nurse came around the desk and, out of the room of people, pointed to Suzanne and Julie and said "YOU...I need you to answer the phone". Suz and Julie look at each other, like what the #*&!? If you knew these girls, and heard them tell this, you would be ROFL like I am to even be typing this. So they jump right in and do as the nurse tells them. They answer the phone, get the patient's families name, and yell it out into the waiting room - just like they were born to do that job. They even divvy up the roles. Suz answers and Julie yells. Hilarious!!

The only thing funnier than all of that was that there was a sweet, delightful mentally handicapped girl that would run towards them flailing her arms at every name that was called saying it was for her.

Not sure if this translates in a blog post. I have tears of laugter just from writing this. If you see Suzanne or Julie, you have to ask them to tell you the story because, damn, it is funny.
