Yeah so it has been awhile…Sorry about that. It’s funny because I feel like we have a lot to say and share but at the end of the day it is hard to get around to actually writing about it. I never use Twitter and rarely post my thoughts on Facebook so I am not good at utilizing the interwebs for thought sharing.

Anyway Michele had her surgery on May 9th, which was a super stressful day. Didn’t help that I only got like 3 hours of sleep, I left work late then of course got stuck in tons of traffic going up to Boston. Seems like the night of May 8th every construction project in New England had to happen. Not even exaggerating I got stuck in 8 constructions zones, making a 3 hour trip more like 5 hours. I finally made it Boston between 1-1.30am then try to get some sleep for a 5am wake up call. We had to be at the hospital by 6am, we assumed there would be no traffic that early. Ha! Ended up being 20 mins late because there was a lot of traffic.

We get there and they bring us to the OR area where Michele has to change then after that they roll her to another place not sure why, I think for anesthesia? The nurse taking her to the other area told us we couldn’t go but after some sweet talking in Spanish she hooked us up and let us go with Michele to the other waiting area. Of course by the time we got there, another not so friendly nurse kicked us out. Then began the waiting game.

Her surgery took about  5 hours and we were fortunate enough to have Josh’s family and our own family there to help pass the time. I realize surgery in the 21st century was nothing like in days past but still its a nerve-racking experience. The surgical waiting staff were also really good about keeping us updated on what was going on.

Finally by 6pm we were able to see Michele, who was way out of it from all the anesthesia. I should have used that opportunity to mess with her somehow but I was too busy being grateful that she was ok.

Thanks to everyone who called, emailed, texted, and sent delicious care packages.
