Life, being 40 , Joshie's surgery and everything.....
Well 40 has come and gone with little aprehension. My dear wife and friends through me a surprise party, which I had my suspicions was going to happen...Some would say I was a good detective, I would agree, but add my natural state of paranoia to that...but anyway, I had a wonderful time and got a beautiful Red Sox Jacket that is as they say in New England...."Wicked Cool" My loving wife also got me a subscription to MLB.TV so I can watch almost every baseball game this seaon on my computer (except blacked out games like Philly Home games...but being a Sox fan, no worries) I also treated myself to the brand spanking new PSP by Sony and it too is Wicked Cool.
I did not feel that anxiety that I felt at 30, and still don't, and maybe that's because of Little Joshua. Maybe since I'm a dad now, it's ok to be 40...really...heck I'm really looking forward to being 42...now that will be amazing (You'd have to know the Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy to understand...see the movie April 29th...read the book...my favorite book of all time)
and since I mentioned the wee one with smiles, aka Joshua Aaron, the little boy had surgery this past week. He was born with a partial blockage to one of his kidneys, so they had to go in, drain the kidney and but a stint in to keep the opening....well...open and flowing at 100%. In four weeks the little boy will have the stint removed and hopefully all will be well and he'll never remember any of it. I have to give Karen the utmost of props for she has been with him night and day, and even stayed over at the hospital when he had his surgery. She is the one that has to deal with his pain and fussiness that comes with that all day. I just get a small dose when I come home from work to give her some minor relief from her mommy duties. I can not tell you how much I love her for the wonderful job she is doing with our little boy. I wish I could spend more time with him, but reality is what reality is and I have to work.
So life is moving forward, Baseball Season is upon us, the weather outside is getting pleasant, we made it through a hockey season that wasn't and survived, we made it through 40 and Joshie has made it through his surgery with smiles and laughing...and an occasional groan, when the the tylenol wears off.
Till next time....
