a whole new level...

so kell had his surgery yesterday. it was a really looongg day. overall, surgery went well. kell is having a lot of pain though. which is to be expected, i mean, its major surgery....kelly was sooo nervous, like in tears nervous. i wasnt nervous about the surgery-i work with those doctors daily, and have an intense amount of trust in them-so i wasnt worried that anything bad was going to happen to him, but i found myself nervous b/c he was nervous. his nervous energy was making me nervous. it was driving me crazy. (bless his heart) lo and behold, everything went great. he says the first thing he remembers about waking up is seeing me walk into the recovery room. (how sweet, i know) he kept trying to flash me. (yes im serious) he kept pulling his blanket and gown up over his head trying to get me to look. what a goob. today when i was telling him this, he had no recollection of this. i didnt expect him to-anesthesia is crazy like that. he has a cast from his shoulder to his hand. so-this of course means no showering. it means sponges baths. since the cast is all the way up to his shoulder, his arm is bent at a 90 degree angle in a sling. he can take it out to bathe. so-guess who gets the lucky chore of bathing him.....ME.

so this morning, he asked me to help him take a bath. great. his bathtub is very small. kelly is not. add the factor that we cant get his cast wet and it just adds a whole nother issue. plus it was just weird. i bathe my kids. i used to bathe OLD, wrinkly, demented patients whose body parts were pretty much indistinguishable....(ew). so i whipped out the saran wrap and wrapped up the cost as a precautionary. i must say it was quite the site (bah, ha, ha) seeing kelly in this itty bitty bath tub. he was so awkward, bless his heart. family members, ali, you especially, this was NOT romantic....

for those who may not know, kelly and i do not partake in sexual activities of any sort. we arent having sex until we are married. waaiiit, you say, you have a baby. it was immaculate conception, just dont tell anyone. i dont want my secret to get out. just kidding. back in the day, we did have sex, however, when we got back together 1 1/2 years ago, we both agreed that we wanted to do this right, and right for us is waiting until we are married. so rather than tempt ourselves, we really just dont put ourselves in any situations that could compromise our promise to each other and God....that doesnt mean it isnt hard. we struggle daily. daily. daily.....especially since we have been there with each other.

but anyway, back to the bath. it was interesting, i mean, i was thinking while i was washing his cute little butt, if i had to do this everyday, it sure would suck. but id do it. bc i love this man. i mean, its 2 weeks that i will have to do this, bathe him, help his dress, tie his shoes. but if need be, id do it every day. simply bc i love him.
