The post title & picture is from my other close friend from church. She took this picture of Wendy this morning. Karen told Wendy that the tube in her nose made her look like a hummingbird & took a picture of it to show Wendy.
Tonight when I went to the hospital to relieve Jennifer, the nurses had Wendy up walking around … I watched her walk 2 laps around the nurses station. This girl is determined to get out of the hospital ASAP!
That probably won’t happen for a few days … after all, she went in what they thought was a gallbladder surgery & turned into a burst appendix & partial intestine removal.
Even though we’ve been to movies & dinner & see each other at church, Wendy rarely speaks to me. Tonight at the hospital we shared a lot of stories. Sometimes it’s babble & sometimes she signs. We’ve never spoke this much to each other before… her so clear and me actually understand what she was saying. She didn’t like that the nurse was laughing because the IV beeper kept going off. (The nurse was doing it out of frustration.) She told the nurse, “Not funny to me.” She said to me, “Your name close to honey. I don’t like being called that.” Me either. The staff kept calling us honey. She said, “Glad you here.”
Me too.
