As Tammy was filling me in on her upcoming wedding, we were patiently waiting for the buzzer to go off informing us that Katie was out of surgery and in recovery. It was about 4:00 PM and "buzz", she was done. They had an area that you had to report to that had two phones and soon as we arrived one of the phones rang. I told Kenny to answer it. I kept hearing "Uhha, right, okay, sure. " Then I said, "What did they say?" Well she was out of surgery and did great. Instead of the two screws they were planning on inserting, she received eight screws, one steel plate, and two steel bars. She was in recovery and she had finally gotten that water that she so desperately wanted. We were to meet her up in her room in about thirty minutes, so we headed up there.
Katie comes wheeling in, a little groggy, but alert. The nurse show us her drain tube and everything else that was attached to her. About this time we were running on no sleep from the morning before. Soon after Katie's arrival into the room, her friends started arriving. I didn't want to leave her by herself so Zach offered to stay that first night with her. The only thing available to sleep in was this horrible leather chair. So I left after I knew she was settled and headed to bed. I was so tired that I can't believe I found my way home. I immediately came home and took a shower and hit the sack. My sleep was irregular because I kept playing the events of the day around in my head. I couldn't turn off the commotion in my head.
