Missing my babies...

[FranktheTank]

I'm checking in to the hospital for major surgery this morning, and I'm already thinking about not being there to give Sunny her morning snuggle today. Frank seems to finally be waking up and I won't be there for him either. I spend so much of my day taking care of my scaley children it's going to be hard not to worry about them while I'm away. I'm Especially sad about not being with my Sunny, she's my girl and we have such a close bond. I could be gone for as long as a month, hopefully I won't lose my bond with her. All of the babies will be in the very capable hands of my other half (boyfriend) but I still worry he won't do things the way I do! hahaha.. With any luck things will go better than expected and I'll be home before I know it!! I'll miss checking in everyday and reading all of your wonderful stories too!! Beardies really do make my world go 'round! Frank and Sunny have been by my side through horrible days of sickness. They always snuggle with me when I'm not feeling well and seem to take the pain away. I wish I could bring them to the hospital with me.

Now, i would NEVER be one to advocate breaking hospitol policy, by any means, because having spent a lot of time in them, I understand that they're rules are in place for our safety and of course they're never wrong about anything at all so it's best to listen, and do whatever they tell you right?

WRONG.

Now, to the matter at hand;
IF YOUR OLD MAN DOESN"T SNEAK IN A DRAGON TO SEE YOU AFTER SURGERY THEN HE'S NOT MUCH OF AN OLD MAN!!
It will be like an awesome WWII spy movie!! WITH DRAGONS AND AMERICAN HOSPITOLS!!!

Plus we know in our hearts it's the right thing to do, dragons are really easy to sneak in places if you burrito them first and just put them under your jacket! :mrgreen:

Kaleen, you are in my prayers. Your babies, too.

Randy, you are just plain naughty. But you ALWAYS crack me up.

I second that ....I'm donating a kidney to my sister in a couple of months this spring and I've already told my hubby I want to see a dragon a day while I'm in the hospital...we have 4. :lol: I'm only the donor so no risk to me to see my little ones.

Kaleen,
I'll be thinking of you. I hope you surgery goes well and that you get to see your little ones too!

Nothing naughty about it! I just won't be told what to do by some bureaucrat in a stupid hospital. I spend too much time in hospitals anyway, and they seldom have any idea what's going on unless you offer them information voluntarily. I wouldn't recommend trying to sneak like a puppy in there or something but a beardie is easy. Like Sunday morning.

I'm with Randy. They let other animals into the hospital- therapy dogs, rabbits, why not a beardie. No one would have to know, and research shows that animals companionship lowers blood pressure and increased red blood cell count and does all sorts of other good things (and the benefits are actually reciprocated by the animals, at least in dogs and horses), so I would say the benefits far outweigh the risks.

I third that! I had snuck in Digger once my hubby was off the ventilator and moved from ICU to see him! It was awesome, snuck him in my hoodie, then went into his room, shut the door, then the nurse came in to see why the door was closed and she was gerat, she took a pic with her phone, lol!

 

[NeosMom]

Ok. I guess I'm just an old lady. My only experiences with a hospital have been MAJOR. My son was in NICU for a month and it was my only real long experience. I had to do a surgical scrub to visit my son. Only approved immediate family could visit. No one under 18 except my stepson and we had to provide his medical records first. When we finally went home, my son wasn't allowed out in public for two months. My dogs had to be cordoned off from his room. Just typing this is making my neck tense & my stomach queasy.

So, that being my adventure into the hospital world, you can probably understand why I view them as very serious and very scary places. I imagine you are all probably right. But honestly, I hope I never spend enough time in one to start feeling that way. My one time was more than sufficient.

I dig it

I'm in the hospitol about once a month for an as-of-yet unexplained illness that make me vomit unexpectedly for extended periods of time. I usually have to stay the night about 3x a year or so, but I spend so much time in there I know exactly what rules are BS and what to do when i do go-
For example, i bring my own blankets and water bottle because they never give me enough blankets, and always refuse to give me any water to rinse my mouth when I'm vomitting. They catch me with my water bottle sometimes and try to take it away, but I usually just swear at them at that point and offer to throw up on them. Now they leave me alone mostly.
If i needed Franklin to feel better, you best believe I'd have some one sneak him in to see me!

 

[NeosMom]

That makes sense. You have my sympathy on that one. Vomiting is the worst. I repeat... I hope I never know a hospital that well.
