it’s now 10p.m., or as we say, the de-robing hour. craig has a ritual now, which includes stripping down to his boxers and gown. on a good day, he’ll include the sticky-bottom hospital socks. why he does this, no one quite knows. perhaps it’s to do with the tide… or, maybe he’s just hot.

So this isn’t a craigism, but a general craig overtone for today. It’s been a “you people” and “they” type of day. Apparently, we have been playing “bowel movement extortion,” and “they” keep taking his laxatives. I’m assuming “they” means the nurses, and not imaginary laxative-stealing fairies. So, we sit and “catch up on our [...]
This is my ode to mama; the lady who raised me up right and keeps me oriented to what’s important in life. Important things like family (we have a great one, thanks to mom and dad), Law and Order SVU (Mariska is MY President), and coke zero…..okay, I added the coke zero. It’s been a [...]
Criag’s sound asleep after getting the hickman inserted into his chest earlier this morning. Though we had planned to leave today, we may end up staying another night for him to recover. The doctors will come by later today to reassess. Personally, I think the sunshine will do him some good, but we’re not in the business [...]
dr. elias pulled out a three inch blade to cut craig’s saran wrap after his shower. good for street fights during his lunch break, i suppose.
in other news, he ordered another x-ray of craig’s abdomen yesterday in order to identify gas patterns. this was before they scrapped the idea of putting a gastro [...]
diane and i just had an interesting discussion with craig’s young and good looking male nurse on the acting talents of jessica alba and scarlett johannson. craig and this young buck seem to think ol jess and scar are the bees knees of all things acting. we’re waiting to be enlightened…

Craig’s been asking for ice chips and water to curb his thirst. He’s even stealing a few sips, though we know it will make him vomit. He’s using pink sponges to swab his throat, and like a Lawler, he’s cheating. He’s learned from the best. Yes, grand master of the water cheating is none other [...]
Craig’s sleeping with a wash cloth draped over his eyes — afternoons tend to be quiet times at our little resort. Like yawning, watching someone sleep causes sleepiness…then again, maybe Diane and I are just lazy or perhaps suffer from what we’ve dubbed narcosleepy. In any event, it’s usually lights out at 1p.m. When we’re [...]
once again, when asked how our mom feels, she responds “with my fingers”. Ba dum pishhhhh. ;0) can always count on that response!
