Joel left today for Joburg where he will have surgery tomorrow. The surgery will be on his recently funkified hand, which was funked by the great doctors of Angola. Basically, when the Angolan doctors set the break, they did it completely wrong, so he was left with a gimpy hand. Luckily, a fairly straight forward surgery should set it all straight.
That said, he is having anesthetic and all that, which worries me a bit, mostly because I'm not there, can't see him, can't help take care of him. Wish I was, definitely wish I was.
So, I'm kind of doing things like normal this week, trying not to miss him too much- today I went on our usual Tuesday grocery shop- which was highly unusual because I spent half of what we usually spend, and didn't buy any Coke. :) And then for dinner, I just made some soup. Weird because, it didn't include any meat, and there was no meat on the side either. Joel's not here.
Nearly 10 though, so, time to crawl into that, once alone, ridiculously huge bed, and try to sleep through another night.

It really sucks when our sleep partners are gone. I've been married for nearly 13 yrs and Lane travels for his job. Thankfully not as much as he used to, sometimes just overnight but you think that after 13 yrs I'd be used to a night or 2 alone in the bed. Nope. I don't think I ever will.
I hope his surgery went well and that he'll be home soon.
waaaah on having your honey be gone. And boo on the Angolan docs for setting his hand wrong. Anaesthesia sounds scary, but no one wants to be awake for the resetting, so it's for the best, I'm sure. Do you guys have to pay for that trip out of pocket? that stinks!
Hope he's back home, safe andungimpy soon!
