Surgery

This has been a long week. We have been inside because of rain. We have endured long days without Daddy (he had practice until 8 every night). We have visited friends and had a surprise visit from family. We have had disappointments, and some excitement. We have had some injury and a surgery. Brenna and I have done a lot in our long days alone. Well, not really alone as much as without Daddy.

Who had surgery you may ask? Brenna's beloved Bear was in need of a repair surgery to her lower extremities. I guess after two years of nights and naps I should have expected some damage. Luckily the tear wasn't life threatening. I had her sewn up in a jiffy and she is now slaving away in bed with Brenna. It is a good thing I sew quickly too. I brought out good old "spare bear" for Brenna to sleep with while I performed the delicate surgery. Unfortunately Spare Bear is no longer sufficient. I had to take Bear, the original, to Brenna in bed so that she would finally fall asleep for her nap.

I guess I don't have any right to judge. My "bear" is so old I can't even tell you it's age. I sleep with an old pillow that barely has any stuffing left. In fact, I don't think you can even call what it does have stuffing. I have been the center of a few jokes because of my pillow. At one time I thought I would be able to retire it from nightly duty when I got married, but that obviously didn't happen. I guess my pillow and I will be together as long as it survives. I can only hope Bear will last that long for Brenna.
