Willie the WonderKid: Fat Elbow

Steve had his Very Serious Elbow Surgery yesterday. He, basically, had a fatty tumor on his elbow. He does not like it when I tell him he had a fat elbow, though. It had a strange hard bump the size of a pea on his elbow that has been hurting him for a while. And he's been to doctor and after doctor (having 2 X-rays and an MRI in the process!) who basically all told him to stop whining about his fat elbow pea and live with it. But, after much trying, he found a Cutter. Finally, some guy was willing to cut it out! He was a surgeon, so getting it done was a whole business. Steve had to take a surgical shower, couldn't eat or drink for 24 hours, couldn't drive himself, had to wear the whole gown and hair net combo, etc. They took him to pre-op and he was next to people having actual surgeries. It took about 10 minutes. And he lived. And no more fatty pea.

I had an important meeting, so, thankfully, Guy was able to drive Steve. I got an update text during my meeting and I was looking at my phone, so I go, "Sorry - I'm not being rude, my husband is having surgery and I'm getting an update." Someone gave me a funny look so I said, "OH, not a real surgery. A stupid surgery. I'm not missing his triple bypass or anything!" Then, all the biomedical engineers wanted to know what a "stupid surgery" was. So I explained about his fat elbow. And they agreed that I am the best wife ever (jk).

It is crazy gorgeous outside today, so we ran all our errands this morning (including selling back Wm's violin). Then, after Mimi and Wm's Spanish lesson, we are going to take Flip on the walking path and enjoy it!! I am REAL excited because I have been trying to talk Steve into selling everything and living on a beach in Mexico. Maybe this warmish sunny tide will tide me over for a while!

And now, some fun pictures.

Woke up to multiple animals sleeping ON my legs.

Just cuties being cute (look at Flip resting his dog elbow on Wm!)

At 9:15 this morning, I went in to see if Wm was still alive. He did not enjoy me showing up in his room and accidentally waking him up (then taking pictures of him). So here is the progression of Wm waking up this morning and going from cutely sleeping to cutely grumpy:
