My FIL is doing well... now.
What was supposed to be an outpatient surgery ended up an overnight stay. Recovery just takes a bit longer the older you get I guess. He was able to leave the hospital the next day after lunchtime, but they had to return almost immediately (within 2 hours) because he was in so much pain, turns out the nurse inserted his plug to the catheter backwards!!!!!
Once the doctor figure that out, within the first few minutes of examining him of coarse, he was released and has been much more comfortable and is just taking things slow.
I mean, COME ON! and apparently, my MIL said the nurse who inserted the plug, was training another nurse. Incompetence just infuriates me, especially when dealing with life!
Who here is flying? I hate flying but I prefer it over driving 22 hours. Our flight leaves at 11:30am so not the usual 7am-ish flight. We arrive in Orlando at dinner time on Thursday night. I'm trying to figure out what foods are allowed on the plane. That's a lot of hours without eating a real meal. I don't usually eat breakfast but I guess I will eat something before we go. The layover isn't long enough to grab food. So I'm thinking beef jerky, carrots, celery and apple. Not an ideal meal but low carb. I am having a hard time coming up with a protein. Tuna pouches stink and I don't want to stink up the plane. I don't think cheese would keep that many hours.

How about peanut butter? That's high protein and I like using celery to dip it in. I don't care for tuna, AT ALL either...
I just printed off 7 packing lists,
1 for each kid (3), Me, DH, the Car, and the Cruise/Parks/Hotel
We are going to surprise the kids on the day we are leaving. Neither know what day we are leaving. My daughter thinks it is around my birthday (Nov 21st), because my MIL slipped up and said something about our trip on my birthday. We will be IN FL on my birthday, but not on the cruise... The plan as of now is: Since my MIL and Daughter can only take a 1/2 day off school on the 8th, we will be leaving at 2pm to drive. So I will be taking my daughter to school as usual. I will pretend to be taking my son to school as well and go ahead and pack up all his stuff. We will drop her off, and then I will just drive back home and on the way I will tell him to check and make sure is glasses are in his backpack and have a surprise note in there about leaving for the cruise that day .When we pickup my daughter after lunch, she won't know what to think with the car packed and ready to go. We will have to drive home to drop off her stuff and pickup MIL and FIL, but I think it will be so shocking finally. I never get to surprise them!!
I will just have to pack all the bags and hide them in my closet while they are at school the day before and pick out my kids clothes for them for Thursday for school, not uncommon... so hopefully they won't catch on!
