As crazy as it seems, I do have some funny stories from this whole experience to share. Which is great because the good Lord knows I need a little levity right now. I call this one "Elevator Lady" and I think SNL should pay me for the right to use it on their show. She could be a regular I think.
I was sent out of Scarlette's room yesterday while they did some work on her (I hate that) and decided to go get lunch so that I wasn't just freaking out in the waiting room. That seems to scare people. I get on the elevator with Jeanette (who is here taking care of me) and my mother in law and some woman who seems to just be riding the elevator up and down.
A few seconds into the ride she says to my mother-in-law "I've got it! I know who you look like! You know who you look like?" And I admit I'm curious because I never thought my mother-in-law looked like anyone particularly famous when she says "You look just like Reba McEntire…'s sister. You know, Susan?"
Because I mean, who doesn't know Susan McEntire, relatively unknown sister of Reba McEntire?
I was standing next to her holding my stomach in pain because trying not to laugh really hurts when you have an incision that goes from one hip to the other. And I had forgotten my percoset at home and apparently it's like, taboo or something to ask a random nurse if you can have a percoset and it gets you tagged on some sort of "watch out for the pill popper list" which makes no sense because hello, you're in a hospital where they keep the drugs that they gave you when you were there a few days ago so obviously they are the best people to ask for more, right?
And the lady looks at me and says "Oh, are you in some sort of hurting?" and I said "Yes, yes I am" and she nods at me and then cuts in front of me to beat me out of the elevator.
I updated her photo album w/yesterday's pictures, but they are sort of sad b/c she has lots of IV lines now 🙁
