Candice, my Danny, and our family made my surgery day fun

Our whole family was with me today during my surgery with loving texts, phone calls, and emails.  The doctors, nurses, and staff performed surgery and fixed my arm and wrist that I broke in several places.  They inserted a metal plate and several screws in my arm to hold the bones in place.

Candice and Danny were by my side, caring for me and loving me every moment of the day.

Candice chronicled the day for all of us….

Checking in at the hospital for surgery at 7:35 am.

Finally, I was wheeled out for surgery just after noon….

We were back together in the Recovery Room over two hours later.  Candice kept her Dad, my Danny, calmed down and sane during my surgery.  Thank you, Candice.

I had been yearning for a milkshake for six days….ever since I broke my arm.  It seemed like the supreme reward for a major injury.  My Danny full filled my dream today with something even better than a milkshake!

We were home and I was nestled on the couch….with a LARGE Choco Brownie Blizzard from Danny, and an amazing “Five Guys” bacon cheeseburger from Candice.  I’m normally not a hamburger type of gal, but I highly recommend this burger….it was the best burger ever!

A day that I have dreaded with great fear in my heart, became a day filled with love….that has brought our family closer together.  It has been a day that I will always remember as an incredibly sweet day.
