Last night my husband had a hat trick. He doesn't play soccer or hockey, he's a general surgeon. So how did he manage the hat trick?
He's on staff at three different hospitals and was on call last night. Around 430 he texted to say that he was just starting an appendectomy at one of the hospitals and then had a meeting to go to and another appy scheduled at 8 at a different hospital. Ok. At that point I knew I would have to bring the kids with me to Parents Night at school and the party I had tentatively scheduled to attend was not going to happen. No big deal. To paraphrase Michael J Fox in American President - I assume that all plans are soft until I receive confirmation from him thirty minutes beforehand.
I figured he'd be home around 930. Finally at 1030 he texted, he was on his way home. He had had to do another appy at the third hospital.
So there you have it - an appy hat trick.
Surgeons sure are crafty dudes aren't they? I'm married to a plastic surgeon myself. He can sew circles around me and does all the sewing in our house. LOL!!! Visiting from the weekend blog walk.
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by.
DeleteYou're lucky, my husband never does any sewing at home - I guess since he's not used to actually threading needles. He is good at tying knots though ;)
ha all jokes aside, its awesome that he is a surgeon though!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day! Stop by and say hello!
Wow, that sounds like a crazy night! And the quote from Mr. Fox is exactly right. We never know what/if we'll be doing something until right before it happens. Nothing like flying by the seat of your pants. Thanks for stopping by Medical Mondays!
ReplyDeleteYep, nothing like being a Doctor's spouse to mess with any type of schedule.
DeleteWhen my non-medical wife friends complain on the rare times their husbands are running late or missing dinner I have to admit I don't have much sympathy - welcome to our world. Nice to find a little corner of the bloggy world who gets it.
I'm with you, but I take it a step further with my surgeon husband... I assume all plans are soft until he walks through the door! A lot can happen in thirty minutes! Grumble, grumble! So happy to find you via Medical Monday Bloghop!
ReplyDeleteAll plans are soft until...yep. I hear you there!
