…..but hey!\u00c2\u00a0 At least we made it before Father’s Day rolled around!\u00c2\u00a0 Last year we didn’t all get togethr to celebrate until alfter Father’s Day.\u00c2\u00a0 At least we know it’s the thought that counts………<\/p>\n

\"Momma<\/a><\/p>\n

Every year we’ve gotten together, Mom and the girls for a dinner and usually a coffee afterwards.\u00c2\u00a0 Well, seeing as this year’s just a little tiny bit different what with Chris in the hospital, and 3 of us on weird natural healthy diets – our plans were slightly off of normal.<\/p>\n

The biggest thing was that Chelle didn’t make it.\u00c2\u00a0 Things are quite busy for her, and she just couldn’t swing it between her schedule and the girls and work and well…..she was jsut really tired out, and needed to stay home.\u00c2\u00a0 That was sad!\u00c2\u00a0 Very Sad!<\/p>\n

The rest of us met at the hospital just before 7pm (’cause that’s when the shift change is, and we can’t be there with Chris anyway) and decided to go to Cactus Club.\u00c2\u00a0 We drove down Broadway, and when we passed Cactus Club, and parked up the next street, well – Earls was right on that corner, and so we just went there ’cause it was all of\u00c2\u00a0 about 4 steps closer!\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

We laughed and talked and chatted about life and mostly about the food that we could or could not eat.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s fun that there are 3 of us on similar eating plans.\u00c2\u00a0 Makes it easier to not feel so left out when EVERYONE around you is gorging down on foods that you’re not supposed to have, and you’re gnawing on a plate of lettuce, and feeling quite like a rabbit.<\/p>\n

Debbie had the most delicious mashed potatoes, and even bought a side order to take back to Chris, as he seems to be really enjoying his daily Mystery Meat Log – NOT!\u00c2\u00a0 When we finally finished our dinner’s, we decided to forgo the coffee much to Debbie’s dismay.\u00c2\u00a0 She had been waiting all day for her special drink, but we were thinking that Chris might be asleep if we waited too much longer.\u00c2\u00a0 The pills they give him do a really good job of knocking him out for the night – usually!<\/p>\n

He had fallen asleep when we showed up, but just barely, and when we asked if he’d like a bit of company, he told us to come on in.\u00c2\u00a0 It was fun to just be in there and joking around with him.\u00c2\u00a0 It was quite the party with the 5 of us girls\u00c2\u00a0in there, but he seemed to handle it quite well.\u00c2\u00a0 It was nice to see him joking and laughing and even teasing Lisa ’cause she was a bit squeamish about his arm and leg.\u00c2\u00a0 Nothing says “family loving” like a little bit of mental torture…\u00c2\u00a0<\/p>\n

We finally cleared out ’cause it was getting late, and we were a bit loud.\u00c2\u00a0 Oops!\u00c2\u00a0 NOt only that, but Chris is only supposed to have 2 visitor’s at a time.\u00c2\u00a0 Oh well!\u00c2\u00a0 Not that it really matter’s now, ’cause he’s been transferred up to a regular ward.\u00c2\u00a0 That just seems so amazing.\u00c2\u00a0 It’s just one step closer to him coming home and being better.<\/p>\n
