2010 The Year of the Needle

It's been an interesting year for us.  Ryan and I had 2 hospital visits each this year, a new job, new house, new baby, new shoulder and now new knee!  Let's hope next is filled with many adventures and less trips to the hospital.
I am sure, after this last trip to the hospital, that Ryan and medication don't mix well.  Here is the conversation we had when I came into the hospital room after his knee surgery.  When I went in Ryan had his eyes closed.  He opened them briefly and smiled at me before going back to sleep.  I sat on the chair in the room and waited for him to wake up.  When I did he looked at me and said,
Ryan: Where's Phoebe?
Me:  At your mom's house.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because I need to take care of you and it's easier with when she's not here.
Ryan: Why?
Me:  Because you just got out of surgery.
Ryan then fell asleep again for about 5 minutes.  When he woke again he started to look at the clock.
Me: What are you looking at?
Ryan: What time is it?
Me: Twelve o'clock.
Ryan: In the morning?
Me: No in the afternoon.
Ryan then began to look at his finger that had the heart monitor in it.
Ryan: (alarmed) It's all red.
Me: It's a light.
Ryan:Why?
Me: It's to monitor your heart.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because you just got out of surgery.
Ryan closed his eyes again and I assumed he was asleep.  Then he opened his eyes again and began to look at the clock.
Me: It's 12:05
Ryan: No it's 1:00.
Me:  The big hand is on the one but the little hand is on the 12 so it's 12:05.  I'll show you on my phone.  Can you see it?
Ryan: No.  Can we go?
Me: I don't think they'll let you go yet.
Ryan: Why?
Me: Because I don't think you're awake enough yet to go home.
He then fell asleep again.  He woke up about 10 minutes later and said,
Ryan: Where is Phoebe?
Me: At your mom's house.
Ryan: Why?  We repeated the whole conversation 3 more times.

I love Ryan so much.  I am so glad I have him!
