monologue monday

When we last left Toonman he was settling into his room.  Since then his surgery has been postponed and another surgery added.  He is a popular guy.   Its like Seattle Grace ... all the doctors want 'in' on his case.


Did I tell you about the weird roommates he had on his first incarceration stay on 9B?  There was the poor man with early Alzheimer's who made screaming/choking noises all and I do mean all the time.  His wife thought he was coughing .. no, seriously.  Then there were, separately, two elderly Hispanic gentlemen who alternately cried or called for the nurse all day long.  Lastly there was the biker who fractured his foot, he was only there for 2 days during which he walked back/forth to the bathroom many many times ... I wondered if he thought it was therapeutic exercise.

This time was different.  This time we met and adopted David.  David had pneumonia for the third time this winter but will soon be sent home to be lovingly cared for by his soon to be husband Fritz.  We love them both.  David's birthday was Friday and he had a small party to which he and Toonman wore hospital gowns but no tiaras.

Fritz brought cupcakes from Magnolia


and a lovely bottle of Prosecco.

 David and Toonman toasted with ginger ale

The best part is that on Saturday afternoon the "team" decided that Toonman could go home and come back in the day of his surgery!  So we packed up and headed back home, sadly David had to stay but we spoke to him on Sunday and he hopes to be home soon and visiting us.

What was left of the weekend was nice.  My friend D and I had manicures (I, of course, had a pedi as well), went shopping, to lunch and generally had a lovely day, I felt like Cinderella since I still had the laundry, vacuuming and household crap to do .. I had no idea how much work Toonman does between working with his clients and making Toons for me.  I am very spoiled.


And lastly .. happy birthday to me .. the gift I wanted most was Toonman well and home .. I'm getting half of it so I am very happy ...
