Glad he's home and doing well. Sorry for him that they mistreated him. Maybe he was abducted by aliens too while he was knocked out and they poked and prodded him. That thing in his mouth has an alien implant homing device in it now. But the aliens decided he wasn't what they were looking for so gave them back to the nurses where they did their own poking and prodding. If he wants that implant taken out he will have to go to a foreign country to have it removed as no one will touch it in Canada w/ a 10ft pole. Maybe Iceland will do it or right here in the states in area 51...................or the guys at work :razz:

Don't you love those "gowns". OMG, I'm only 5' so the "one size fits all" goes to the floor. I guess on a 6'6 man, they would barely cover his buttocks! :LOL: :LOL:
Tell me, is your husband on his hospital bed in that second pic? If so, is it really that narrow, barely as wide as him? Wow, it looks really narrow, and can't imagine a big person even fitting in that bed. I know they have side rails, but wow, you could not turn over you'd have to scoot around to even turn, it looks like.

Ya, hospital bed smaller than twin size I'm sure, that way wife can't crawl in too! Ha ha, might be free health care but it's not fancy that's for sure! He's still complaining that they must have stood on his chest to pull out teeth cause chest sore too! Poor honey bunches of sweetness is back on the health wagon, no drinking beer, just green tea and parley leaves tonight, to help lower blood pressure. He's got to quit smoking, even if it is home grown Black Mammoth tobacco, seeds from Cuba. Have to get pictures of it tomorrow, grows good in garden out back. Cheat the government out of taxes, grow your own! Regular pack of smokes here would cost you 20 bucks! Hubby says some guys at work spend 500 dollars a month on smokes! Thank goodness I don't smoke tobacco! :)

sissy you need some of my lilies they stay open most of day even with bright sun, maybe that is a night time lily lol or a vampire one run from the sun

We are at ocean city, got to watch a pod of dolphins fish right off shore, so neat. Around 15 of them, one small one kept jumping out of the water doing stunts for us earthbound peeps. They kept going up and down shore for the 3 hours we were sitting on the beach watching, love those critters.
