Ah... opposites do attract

Yes, he's ok! Yesterday (1/11), Jim had surgery to repair a hernia. It's been there for a while, he's just put it off- dreading the surgical experience. After getting the worst nurse possible to start his IV (and missing over and over... then, digging over and over) they got his blood pressure back down and the IV started. Took a few hours to get the color back in his face. He came through just fine- then, got out of recovery and back home as quickly as possible!

My favorite part (the only good part) of surgery is the great painkillers that come along with it to take the worries away... Jim, on the other hand is already making his list of things to do since he can't stand to stay down for ANY amount of time. I think this is probably where Caden gets it... I LOVE this quality in him- searched for a man with this quality- but, wish he'd chill for at least a little while so we don't end up back in getting it repaired. I hate that he had to go in, but so happy to have him home for at least a week while recovering!

Hope he is feeling better real soon. I know the feeling with the IV's. Last time 17 times before they got it and it was in the foot! Have a Blessed New Year, The Pearson Family
