On Surgery

5/21/11

So my mom is getting both her knees replaced this week (hopefully!).  John is aware of this and heard Steve and I discussing it in the car.  Here is his interpretation of the whole ordeal:

John:  Hey Mommy and Daddy.  Know what's gonna happen when Mimi (Grandma) goes to the hospital?

Me:  What, John?

John:  They're gonna cut her knees off!

(This would be enough amusement for a single post, but he continues...)

Me:  That's right, John.  They're going to put new knees in Mimi so she has better ones.

John:  Is there blood in there?

Me:  Yes, there's blood in there.

John:  Is it gonna hurt?

Me:  Yes, it's going to hurt, but they'll give her medicine to make her feel better.

John:  Are they going to use a knife or fork?
