5/3/05 B Surgery

Blake had surgery on his shoulder yesterday & he never called me after his surgeries like he was suppose to. I was going to stop by and visit him and he was going to call w/ directions and everything. Well after like 3 I still hadn’t heard from him, so I thought that was weird, so I waited and just kept calling his phone and it was off forever. I get to his house after work & find a pamphlet from the DR w/ directions and a #. I called and they couldn’t tell me anything but that he would be in his room soon so I could come down, so I was a even more worried.

I had to wait for randy to get home and then I left to go to the hospital. As I walked up his Mom was there, she was on the phone -so I just waved and mouthed to her 'is everything OK?' at first she nodded her head and then shook her head no. She was on the phone so I didn’t know what she meant and was going to keep walking to Blake’s room, and then she stopped me and told me I better sit down with her. I was just OH GOD, what happened?


She starts to get all teary eyed and tells me Blake’s blood pressure was really high and he was having trouble breathing and all this stuff. She started to cry and she tells me he’s been in recovery since he got out of surgery @ 2 and I didn’t get there till almost 630-7. So he’d been in there for a long time and since she started to cry I started to cry so there we are Blake’s mom & I in the waiting room crying. His sister drove down from cave creek so there the 3 of us are all worried and dont know whats going on.


Blake finally gets wheeled in on a stretcher to his room. As it turns out the nurses were freaking out Blake’s mom. It turned out to be ok in the end, this one nurse made it into a bigger deal than it really was. My god i have never been so happy see Blake. He had the oxygen mask on and had on all the IV tubes and bandages & etc on -it was hard to see him like that but he was so happy to see me and it felt so good to able to hold his hand and be there with him. I never been scared like that before w/ someone I was dating. It was such a scary feeling, but even though he was stitched & messed up he was still so beautful to me.

His family left around 830ish and I stayed till 10 and it was really cool bc I just kind of played nurse with him and laid in the hospital bed w/ him. It just one of those really bonding moments for me and its now going to be a special memory.
