Let's start at the beginning of today:
5:20 AM----one happy teenager bright eyed and bushy tailed just HOPPIN to go to hand surgery.
8:45 AM---in the recovery room drinking apple juice...............I haven't seen him drink apple juice since 1998.
10:00 AM----healthy nourishing breakfast.............G loves the honey sauce Whataburger puts on their chicken biscuits.
10:05-----Let's get situated on the couch for a day of recovery! Also, let's take 1/2 of a Vicodin.
10:30----Hello Mr. Vicodin! Work your magic! (Check out that awesome golfer tan)
10:45-----I gave PeeWee a Vicodin...............no! NOT really!!!!!! Nobody call PETA on me..........................there's no WAY I would waste a Vicodin like that. However, PeeWee decided to assist in the healing process and snuggle up with the patient.
10:50----Ruthie decided to help. None of us here know what it's like to lay on a couch without at least two critters on us. The rule of, "No Dogs On The Couch" really never caught on over here.
11:45----THIS IS SO SWEET...........PeeWee worked his way UNDER the cast to elevate it! That dog is so smart! (AND whacked out on Vicodin.............just kidding...........calm down PETA)
3:40----Healthy, nourishing dinner. Again, when your kid has surgery, you want them to feel better and you will grant any wish.............including clogged arteries. R was so sweet.....he took everything out and arranged it on a plate ('tell ME we don't have class) to make it as easy as possible for Lobster Boy to eat.
3:41-----A balanced meal. You've got your three basic food groups: Nuggets, Fries, and Polynesian sauce. ('tell ME I haven't taught the values of the food pyramid here at Casa Peterson) These have been G's three favorite food groups since he was old enough to gum food.7:50----The patient is doing well and is at the kitchen table doing his best to work the mouse and chat with his friends..........he wouldn't let me take a picture of him..........
I think he's been through enough today............I'll put the camera away:-)

G-I'm so glad your surgery is over and you're OK- I know you parents are glad too!
Hey G-Man
hang in there my Man. If "Lumpy" gives you any grief then wait until you get your cast off and ask the doctor if you can take it home. Once Lumpy is asleep then tape the cast around one of his his ankles. When he awakes the next morning and takes that first step ;-)....well you will hear the thud....LOL. If anyone ask.....you thought of this devious plan all on your own.

Your one tough Dude!!!!
Get well soon. I have ya in my thoughts & prayers.
love to the family
