Dedicated to my brother ‘fearless Norm’

So yesterday was the day of my brother’s operation. I didn’t get to see him until the afternoon. It took about an hour to prepare him for the operation and then he was in the operating theatre for a good 6 hours!!!!

When I got to see him after he’d been in recovery he was sleeping for most of the time and some very loud snoring was with that! It was weird seeing him with about 4 tubes coming out of him.

When me and my mum went back to see him after having dinner he was a bit more awake. Even after he had just had a major back operation he didn’t cease to make us laugh! Every 2 minutes he was just talking complete randomness (which to be fair he usually does anyway but he was particularly random last night!).

I can’t really put the funny things he said into words because you just had to be there (you can ask me for a demonstration!) but I’ll try…

Mum: we’re going to have something to eat now

Andy: where are you going?

Mum: harvesters

Andy: can I come?

He couldn’t remember what the ‘big toe’ was called so he started chatting crap about how the big toe should be called the thumb!?

Ummm, oh yeh, then he was blabbering on about how he was going to be a druggie…

Andy: I won’t always be this drugged up will I? Do you want some oxygen Gem? You’ll be all high. See, I told you I’d be a druggie. Peace out.

LOL, he was calling me and my mum ‘sound’ and I was his ‘G’ and mum was his ‘M’!!?????

And he was thanking EVERYONE!

To the nurses: ahhh, thank you, you’re doing a great job

To us: thanks for coming Gem
(ummm, your mum and sister are blatantly going to visit you!!!)
